[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2301485, member: 106919"] Agreed neck length doesn’t matter with internal powder volume, but I’m filling the case full of water to weigh the internal volume, so it does change the calculations when filled to the top with water. Guess I should have said 2.6 grn more H2O. I have heard the winchesters are pretty hot, I may swap only primers to see what happens? It does seem to me that the win primers are softer and that’s the only reason I switched. I’ve had issues with these in the past seeming to flatten before I expected pressure signs. I’m leaving for a hunt Friday so don’t really have time to test before. Im just going to run with the Lapua at 2433fps. ES over 4 shots was 6, SD of 2.4. Max range for this gun is really 300-350yds. It’s not the best gun for the hunt, it is a short range gun with an LPVO Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24 on it, but it’s the last time I’m going to hunt the area in my life and its more of a sentimental thing. I inherited this gun from my grandpa when he passed in 2018 and he grew up hunting this zone. If I can take a deer with it the last year I hunt this state it’d mean a lot to me. Ryan [/QUOTE]
