[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1114097, member: 39764"] I agree 110%, especially with those frigg'in Bergers.:) Powder charge equates to velocity and sometimes spread but seat depth is everything and every stick is different, like fingerprints, no 2 are the same. Case in point, 2 of the sticks I'm playing with had their chambers machined in succession, same size barrel blanks, same reamer. Different actions, different stocks but the headspace is within 0.015 of each other. One likes loaded almost to the lands, the other likes to be 0.044 off the lands, same load, same pill, same brass, same primer, same powder, same sizing regimen. No 2 are the same..... Gee, I'm only playing with 4 sticks in 2 calibers with 2 brands of brass and 3 wieights of pills from 2 manufacturers with 3 distinctly different powders in 2 charge weights plus 2 different primers (same manufacturer, different strengths) at one time right now. hard to keep everything straight Thank goodness for post it notes and MTM cartridge boxes..... and digital calipers or my eyes would cross... Far as I'm concerned, get them to shoot sub moa and then play with velocity over a chrono. At least I'm not doing the shooting. I'm just loading and cleaning. Someone else is suffering the recoil...... [/QUOTE]
