[QUOTE="Rocketeer77, post: 2410902, member: 119378"] How do you measure your powder for each case. Do you have more than one brand of brass, have you tried just neck sizing. Same primers etc. Powder charging has to be 100% perfect that's if you want consistency with velocities. This takes time but I have a range here that measures projectile velocity at 200 metres. My .243 had a spread of 120 FPS @ 200 metres, by ensuring powder charging was spot on we're now down to a 12 FPS maximum spread measured at the muzzle. The further from the rifle that spread obviously widens further. I was naïve thinking my powder throw was repeatable & consistent because it was a reputable make. [/QUOTE]
