[QUOTE="RangerBrad, post: 872771, member: 29387"] Hey fellas, I have tried for over a year to control my es in my 25-06 and can't seem to get a handle on it. I load my rounds while watching Defensive edges, reloading for long range hunting and do it step by step. I am reloading 115gr berger VLD's in winchester brass using 54gr of H4831sc and using federal large rifle match primers. Each bullet is weighed and measured for consistincy. All brass is sized using Reddining s bushing dies and seated with the redding micrometer seating die. All brass is fire formed then then head spaced .002 less, then trimmed using the sinclair mirometer trimmer then cleaned using the stainless steal tumbler to clean well inside and out. All powder is twice measured to an exact 54gr. all OAL are measured to exactly 2.707, I am setting .020 off of lands and I still have horrible es. I even sort my brass by how often it is fired. As an example I went out last week and shot 6 rounds and the read as follows. 2996,2911,2936,2943,2930,2969 All were measured with my Competetion Electronics Prochrono. My only consistency in es is inconsistency. Please help. Thank's, Brad [/QUOTE]
