[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 677249, member: 24624"] That's a fairly light barrel with a big cartridge intended for hunting. So, it'll heat quickly. You might try 3 shot groups with plenty of time to cool. When you have tight groups with the 5th shot being a flier, it's often the shooter's fault. Also, using the same die unadjusted with the 165gr vs 180gr isn't the same seating depth since the ogive has a slightly different shape. Even if it was the same shape/depth, the velocity won't be the same and the bullet won't exit the muzzle at the same point in the vibration/whip cycle of the barrel. Hence, you probably do need to shoot a few groups at various seating depths to find out which one it prefers. -- richard [/QUOTE]
