[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1570088, member: 69192"] You are right about there being something incorrect with my process. I did gauge a couple of rounds where there was .005 thousandths total runout. That's when I noticed that the nylon on the end of the jacking screw was flattening out and damaging the bullet. I got a good idea from one of the responses about turning the bullet as you seat it. What I have noticed with this round, 35 Whelen, is that every so often we will get a flier. The barrel is a bit wispy and it heats up quite quickly, thought that it was moving due to the heat. The rifles (have two 35 Whelens) shoot good enough for the type of hunting that we do, it's just that there's not any such thing as a rifle "[I]shooting good enough"[/I] for me. That's one of the reasons that I was checking the loaded rounds and checking for concentricity. It did prove to show that the rounds were not concentric. I did find some withing a .002 thousandths runout and they were easily corrected. It appears that I have some work to do. [/QUOTE]
