[QUOTE="Baboltin, post: 2312626, member: 102081"] Hey everyone, So I'm a little confused as to what is going on, I have been reloading for my CA ridgeline 7 mag for years I started with new nosler brass and now am using the same brass and so it’s getting shot a second time. I’m shoot a Barnes ttsx bullet and manufacturer says 2998 velocity with a 24 inch barrel. When I first worked up the load I was at and around 3100 fps with a 26 inch barrel, that load shot well and I felt deadly with it even shot one shot kills at 440,480,492 and then lately the fps have increased to over 3200fps with the second shot brass and I am having a hard time shooting anything at any range. I’m loosing confidence in my shooting skills. I checked velocity a couple days ago it was an average of 3240 for 8 shots. I’m wondering if I should seat the bullets a little more and try and decrease the fps and maybe it would make for a more stable shot. What is your all thoughts ? Details H1000 67.0 grains Seating depth .03 Nosler brass 150 ttsx Barnes bullet Rifle CA ridgeline 7 mag 185 rounds through the rifle Could the fps continue to creep up be causing the bullets to get unstable and open up at longer distance. I’m tempted to seat them to .05 (like Barnes suggest to start at and go to the range and see if the speeds come down. What is everyone’s thought and will that bring my fps down by adjusting seating?
