[QUOTE="skipglo, post: 1744261, member: 87776"] Good day all. I just bought my first Hornaday OAL gauge (after 46 years of reloading). Until I found this site two years ago I was happy with a 1-1 1/2" group. Then I drank the kool aid. And consequently have become a much more accurate shooter. So here in lies the question 6.5 creed shooting 143 gr Eld-x. I set-up the OAL and put it into the barrel....pushed in the shell...about 72 times and 71 times I got the same answer....2.933 coal. THIS IS 133 THOUSANDTH OVER any books 2.80 coal. So I loaded up 6 shells at 2.887....and my group tightened up beautifully from .675 average to . 215 yesterday at 100. Is it normal to have this much freebore over what the guides say? Thanks fellas for any input. [/QUOTE]
