[QUOTE="JimOK, post: 1071774, member: 3481"] Thanks guys for your help. A little about my gun. It is a Remington 700 blue printed action, 26" douglas air gauge barrel 1:9 twist, HS precision stock. I have had it for about 6 years and have used it for closer range whitetail deer hunting here in Oklahoma. Over the past 6 years I have tried many different loads with 10+ different bullets. The best I was able to get was with the Swift Scirocco 150gr. I was getting about 1MOA with that bullet. Currently I am trying to extend the range of the gun (and my shooting abilities) so I am trying to find a more accurate load with a bullet that has better terminal ballistics downrange than the Scirocco. Lately I have tried various loads with the 162 amax and the 168 Berger VLD Hunting bullet. I was able to get about .75 MOA with the 168 VLD with 56.5gr h4831sc .045 off the lands but it was flattening the primers pretty good (2746fps). So I am now switching to IMr 7828Ssc to try to get increased or the same velocity and less pressure. I have tried to jump the bergers various distances and I have 5 more loads ready to go to the range this weekend with the 7828ssc powder jumping .001 off the lands to .12 off. I should reword my question better: Is it a problem for my brass to be .056 shorter than my chamber length? [/QUOTE]
