[QUOTE="g0cherr, post: 2017907, member: 22133"] I love this site for all the knowledge and advice I have received over the years and all of you are continuing to go above and beyond. I am definitely seeing a lot of repeat advice on bullets. I decided to double check a few things with the rifle today at your advice. I should have already done these and was surprised to find a tight spot with the barrel on the forend where the wood and plastic cap come together. I thought I had cut enough of a relief there when I bedded it but I couldn’t slide a paper down without hard resistance. That would line up with what CCAguns mentioned about the heat from the first 2 shots affecting #3. I removed more material and now have a free slide with the paper. Will be going out tomorrow and running some groups. If that doesn’t work will be looking at one of the flat based bullets already mentioned. To answer a few other questions that I was asked, I live in NE Oregon where the temps during hunting season can range from 90 to -0. I try to do all my load development between 60-70 degrees to eliminate high temp pressure spikes. I enjoyed a thread recently on checking your dope in really cold temps. I will be doing that this winter on my long range rig. Browning Abolt stainless stalker in 300WSM. I haven’t verified below 40 before. Will share my findings after the range tomorrow. thanks for all the great advice. [/QUOTE]
