[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 210368, member: 11717"] Have you broken in the barrel yet? And I wonder why you're load testing from prone vs bench? I would also recommend trying different seating depths. Most folks seem to prefer seating just off the lands. Barnes TSX bullet's seem to do better with about a .05 jump. Some guys neck size only, but after a few firings with neck sizing only the brass will get sticky and you'll have to FL size. Neck sizing only allows the brass to be form fitted to the chamber, but at some point you'll have to do a FL size. I'm going to get some custom dies and bullet seater made, which will allow me to FL size everytime. The custom dies will size to fit a particular chamber snugly and concentric with minimum flexing of brass leading to a greatly increased case life. And a good bullet seater gets the bullet trued up and concentric also. Good shooting, Mark [/QUOTE]
