[QUOTE="Augustus, post: 284728, member: 10142"] Well Ill throw in my .02. I just finished solving an accuracy problem involving three rifles. The targets looked like clones to yours. Two of the rifles had shot very good for a long time then just went crazy. The other one is a brand new 338 Edge. All of them are customs. I wont bore you with a lot of detail but the bottom line is the brass was getting tight and my FL sizing dies would not bump the shoulders back. All three of these rifles hate tight brass. I fixed the problem by honing down the shell holders .002, this bumped the shoulders back and relieved the hated pressure. The Edge went from a 2 min. rifle to sub-half immediately. The other two are 308s and went from 1 1/2 min to shooting bugholes. You may not have fired your brass enough to be seeing this problem unless you are using a few pieces over and over. As most folks here know there are a multitude of gremlins that causes inaccuracy and somtimes can be very difficult to find. I was amused when viewing your targets because of their similarities to the ones I have been dealing with, anyway if you are using a few pcs of brass over and over and they are tight you may want to fix the problem.
