[QUOTE="supercrossbmx69, post: 709989, member: 29593"] AZshooter,you are correct I do not know much about reloading. load development for this rifle was the first time I reloaded but did not do it by myself. A friend of mine that has been reloading for 40 + years took me to his house with all his reloading stuff and to teach me, he stood there and walked me through everything and watched to make sure I was doing everything correctly. Now, the reason I wrote this post is not for help with accuracy, accuracy was actually really good with all powder charges. Even with 95 grains the last group I shot put two bullets in one hole and the last about half inch way. The reason for this post is to see why the hell with all the same powder charges and bullet depth why some cases showed ZERO pressure signs and then others had extractor marks and one shot had a sticky bolt. I did not just jump and load up 95 grains. I followed the book, started at 91 grains and accuracy was best with retumbo so I the tried 93 grains and accuracy was still great with no pressure signs, so I then tried the next charge from the book which was 95 grains and accuracy was great. To be honest I was in a hurry for two reasons.
