[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 517991, member: 8"] The temperature of the cartridge before it is fired is important. If it sit out in the sun or is allowed to sit in a already hot chamber it will affect the pressure. I would suggest you try RL22 and Fed 215 primers. If that will not give you good groups then consider that the problem may be somewhere else. Accuracy can be affected by parallax, bedding, barrel contact, poor bench skills, flinching, etc. If you can normally shoot half inch groups at 100 yards then you can pretty much rule out some problems but if not then you simply should realize that reloading technique does not compensate for poor shooting skills. This is much like the ability to shoot small groups does not compensate for not being able to find an animal to shoot at. Seating depth on VLDs is often a critical issue. [/QUOTE]
