[QUOTE="Obsessed, post: 6782, member: 922"] Went out Sunday morning to do some test shooting on some rounds that I reloaded throughout the week. Wanted to do it early in the morning because of the heat in the afternoon is too much. Anyway after shooting the first string of 3 168MK, I went to shoot the next string and it locked the bolt(I believe too much powder for a Savage 300 Win mag 112). After working on it for awhile I got the bolt open, but it then would not close all the way, so I put it back in the truck to work on later-by the way the first string I shot had 2 almost touching and the 3rd about 2" away to the left. So the next is a Sako 300 Win mag aver an hour or so I shot 5 strings of 3 each shooting for groups. On every string I had 2 that were close if not touching and always a flier! I was very disgusted and dissapointed in both myself and my equipment. Like I said I spent most of the week loading for this day, carefully weighing each charge, weighing and seperating each bullet, I was using brand new brass but I still cleaned, deburred and sized the case. To be honest I was so dissapointed I was thinking of scrapping the whole idea of LRH, but that was yesterday and today after a good nights sleep I am ready to try-try again. Anyone have any words of encouragement, I am basically going this alone here with no mentor. HELP PLEASE. [/QUOTE]
