[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1677388, member: 38048"] Are you lubing your necks before seating bullets? This is very important in getting good es/SD. Your first cold bore shot usually isn't going to be in your group. But the shift is consistent so just look at your groups and you will find out how much aiming corrections are needed. As far as your load slowing down on 5th shot goes. Barrel heat will expand your barrel and therefore you lose some pressure and you lose some speed. New brass and freshly cleaned brass will not have any lube in the necks. Try some graphite powder you will see how much more consistent seating feels too. When seating you feel one goes in harder or softer mark that case and you will see velocity variations. Shep [/QUOTE]
