I had a very similar problem recently. Couldn’t find anything wrong until I picked the gun up by the barrel and it spun in my hand.

I don’t. The only thing I have messed with so far is RL26 and I have less than 100 rounds through it. May play with some other powders eventually

Yes sir. Long action, .240 freebore. ~3.226 OAL

WSM getting 3050 with Hornady 180eldm. 26” proof 1:8. The 180eldm at 3000+ plus puts up some impressive numbers.

Well played... what all are you putting together?

I have a 7 twist proof that was intended for a 6.5ss. Still nervous about the 4 groove and 7 twist combo.

Never tried tried moving impact that far, but I do like to use the corner of a square as an aim point. The “corner” gives me something to focus on besides the group and usually impacts are high at 100 yds anyway. I try not to study the group until the string is done but I like the idea of...

Great products and service. Can’t wait to get ahold of their rangdinding binocular!

That’s great velocity, and makes me feel a little better. I wonder why Cliff is hitting pressure so quickly? I anticipate some velocity loss with the 1:7 but 3025 with a 140 is less than desirable. This has me on the fence of swapping that barrel to 7.5 or just going the 7mm route.

Any issues with that 7 twist? I have the same barrel, except 26”, but keep getting warned about blowing bullets up. Went with it to shoot the 147+ bullets, and I’m at sea level elevation. It will be a 6.5ss also.
