[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 72173, member: 3992"] . bolt lift is still very easy, bolt closes just like there were no shell in the chamber. I have never had primer pockets loosen up enough that I notice it. I get 7-10 reloads usually out of a lot of brass before the necks start to show verticle lines, then I toss them. Only use first six reloads for hunting big game and targets, after that they go into the fun rounds box. I've heard I can get more reloads if I anneal the necks but never have done it. I have 2 firings on the brass that is showing the ejector marks now and did not change any of my components. Winchester brass, remington primers, 51.0 gr. IMR 4064, 150 Hornady interbond pill. The primers are the same lot I have used for both firings, have another 851 to go, and the powder is out of the same 8 pound jug as the last 249 rounds were. As for accuracy, the reloads had 14/20 p-dog hits at ranges from 50 to 250 yards, and I didn't keep track of the factory loads accuracy at all. The gun was given to me brand new on my 14th birthday, May 30, 1996, so I misspoke in an earlier post, it is only 9 years old. The first 200 rounds through the rifle were factory loads with virgin brass. After that I shot 90-95% reloads. Every time I shoot the factory loads I get the .0003 in the web. I haven't been concerned about the 3 tenthousandths difference because it is only there with the virgin brass. I have not papered this gun for about 300 rounds or so, but the groups were5 shot groups ranging anywhere from 3/8 to 3/4 inch at 100 yards. These were shot using steady sticks to support the rifle and I was in a high sitting position. I have not fired off of sandbags for 3 years, so don't know for sure exactly what this shooter/rifle combo can do any more. Unfired case length is 2.480" on brass I reloaded in that batch. Fired length is 2.481 on the five I just checked. Do you think less of a shoulder bump would help clear it up? Sorry if I seam to ramble, but I'm trying to give as much information as I can so you all can have an idea what is happening. [/QUOTE]
