[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1512803, member: 12995"] I explained that already... My rifle has a custom match chamber that has tight body dimensions and a SAAMI spec neck for no turning. The barrel is a hand-lapped 26" with a lathe-cut recessed target crown. I seat the bullets 0.015" off the lands. Other than that, I have no idea what information you are wanting to explain how I get the speeds I get. Several other guys on here have gotten similar velocities with theirs using similar load specs. I don't want to mention a powder charge, because what works in mine might be too much for s someone else's rifle, and I'd rather not put out the info and someone get hurt or blowup their rifle trying to match my results. Also, powder lots vary, chamber specs vary, barrel speeds vary, and even chronographs vary. I use a Magneto Speed V2, which is known to be one of the most accurate on the market. I don't know what else to tell you... I worked up loads, found max safe load, it shot acceptable groups, and it chrono'd an average of 3,350, sometimes up to 3,375 at peaks. No magic to it, that's just how things worked out. If you don't accept that, well, I can't help you. [/QUOTE]
