[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2893095, member: 25831"] How clean is your barrel/throat or the rifle? I ask because I recently almost wrote off a rifle due to it being a 1.5 " shooter. Cleaned it really well with some JB paste and it will remain in the cabinet. I thought I knew how to clean a rifle and do it often. If switching between bullets/powders during testing, sometimes manufacturers do not play well with others. Jackets of different materials. Have you shot the same exact bullet in a factory load through either rifle? If so, try and get the OAL of those factory loads and then start with seating testing at lower end powder charge. Once you have seating in a comfortable spot, then work up a charge weight test. [/QUOTE]
