[QUOTE="Jezzro2004, post: 1230454, member: 38457"] So this is the second time I've played with working a load up for my Savage predator hunter 6.5x284. This time around I used the following ingredients: Lapua brass fire formed, uniformed primer pockets, and flash hole. 123 grain Hornady Amax CCI BR2 primers IMR4831 powder Bullets seated .055 off lands due to long throat and shortness of the amaxs Shot all groups in 91 degree weather letting rifle cool about 10 minutes between each five shot string. Now you experienced people here is some crazy questions, I recently purchased and been loading with the Wilson dies and press.. Most of my velocities and close in one or two groups I've got a really low or high number in some groups which is leading me to believe it could be inconsistent neck tension due to the neck being sized on the outside of brass that has not been turned. Idk... I've also noticed that every round that has been fired in the rifle since I purchased it new, after shooting the spent cartridges neck is so tight that a bullet will not slip down in it. However I have the standard size bushing with my Wilson neck die and it does size the neck back some but it's very minimal. All the groups were shot from a solid bench with front a rear bags. What's everyone's opinion of what's going on based on what you see and hear? What is everyone's opinion on what you would do or try. All powder charged were double checked on rcbs 502 beam scale and on my Hornady auto dispenser/ scale. The rifle has less than 200 rounds through it and was broke in using the shoot one clean, shoot five clean type method. I clean about every 25 rounds now. Rifle has a 20 Moa base, bushnell elite 6-24x50mm scope, Burris rings Groups are at 100 yards 49.5 gr 2835 (fouler) 2842 2840 2819 2771 (low for some reason) 50.0 gr 2875 2874 2888 2873 2892 50.5 gr 2918 2909 2940 2925 2922 51.0 gr 2940 2945 2953 2914 2995 (high) 51.5 gr 2969 2972 2985 2974 2965 [/QUOTE]
