[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1733940, member: 57533"] Personally I don't see to much you aren't thinking about or doing to reduce the number but as you said in your last post 'suspect it might have something to do with neck tension' is definitely one thing to look at. This can be attributed to a couple of things imo, case hardening of the neck(BR shooters will anneal every firing) & also not neck turning plus if you look at what a lot of BR shooters do they remove the standard expander to reduce run out & then neck up with a specific diameter expander like a K&M to give either 1 or 2 thousands neck tension. The other thing is the powder dispenser/scale & beam scale your referring to have a variance range of +-.1gr! If you want to get these numbers down near single digits then again something to look at would be getting some scientific or more precise scales. I have a CMC, try this to show what I am talking about, dispense say exactly 50gr of any powder, then with your finger start adding 1 individual grain of powder at a time until you see the charge jump by .1gr, with some powders I can drop in 5 or 6 individual grains before it goes up!! In the end if your getting .5moa then not sure what all the fuss is about or why you need to go to further extremes just for some numbers ?? [/QUOTE]
