[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2044509, member: 10178"] Yes what DOSH just said. I once had a Rem. 700 in 7 Rem. mag that with new cases no matter the powder or bullet it shot all over the place while head spacing off the belt. With a previously fired case just part sizing it in a FL die, bump the shoulder and size the neck, it would shoot bug holes. You could just about fill the case with Accurate 3100 and cram a 160 gr down to a 120 gr bullet on top and it shot like a bench rest rifle. I have a custom built 264 Win mag and the chamber is TIGHT. You basically are just neck sizing and bumping the shoulder while full length sizing. It takes less powder to get the same velocity as most data says is max loads even taking into count the difference between 24 or 26" barrels when mine has a 27 3/4" barrel. I just subtract 25 fps off my barrel length down to theirs. 130 gr Accubonds at 3350 fps is like a laser beam shooting across a bean field at deer. You almost hear the bullet pop before you realize the gun went off. LOL [/QUOTE]
