[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1105824, member: 12995"] On 1/13/13, I shot this 24-shot hotlap (no breaks) during barrel break-in with my 5R .308 Win, and ZERO load development. I loaded 100 of those rounds simply for barrel break-in only, and set the seating depth to 2.810" OAL. Apparantly I picked the right node. :D Outside-to-outside, that group is 1.594"...If you take in for an adjusted measurement (accounting for a bullet diameter of .308"), it comes out to 1.286". Therefore, if I had not tried to shoot all the orange out (far right middle shot), the group would be less than 1.000". Not bad for no lead development and shots #76-100 of a brand new barrel, on a new 100% factory Remington rifle... :cool: [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/2AB4E683-A2EA-491A-93A0-D6A4B695D38F-545-000000D5F11489CB.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/E04F0BEA-4992-48B5-A832-455D460D1A4F-545-000000D6DDDB7663.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
