[QUOTE="Lethal_Chica, post: 1915056, member: 107585"] Rifle - GA Precision in 6.5 SAUM. Manners EH1 Stock. Barlein 25" barrel. ADG Brass - virgin. 142gr LRAB. 61.4 grains of H1000. Finally making some progress with the 6.5 SAUM. The struggle to get this gun shooting decently the last few times out was a bit frustrating. I was shooting the LRABs at .020 off the lands and groups were terrible. Gave me a serious confidence complex for a minute. Thanks to some very experienced loaders, and one in particular you know who you are, for helping me with my first time loading for a rifle and teaching me the details of reloading. Today was a much better range day. With a clean barrel, I shot 3 different 3 shot groups with the bullets seated at different seating depths - .030, .060, and .090 off the lands. The last group has promise and I will reload that again and shoot a few 5 shot groups to verify. Hoping to tighten the group up even more. On the spreadsheet below shots 1-3 were .030 off the lands. Shots 4-6 were .060 off the lands. Shots 7-9 were .090 off the lands. Did I mention how good it felt today to get this rifle shooting? Well it certainly did! I still have lots to learn and a long way to go to refine my skills as a reloader, but I am loving the process and finally seeing some positive results. To all those that have encouraged me on my learning journey for reloading, thank you! [ATTACH type="full"]196786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]196787[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
