[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1066202, member: 10178"] I learned a long time ago that sometimes a rifle does not like new cases. I bought a new Rem 700 SS rifle in 7mm Rem. mag once and free floated the barrel and set trigger at 2 1/2 lbs and mounted the scope and started doing load work up with 100 NEW cases. I thought I got a lemon. With the BEST load I could come up with it would only shoot 1 1/2" three shots groups at 100 yards. I ran out of the new cases and just part sized, just bumping the shoulder, some of the once fired cases and tried the best load. BUG HOLE. Turned out that you could almost fill the case with AA3100 and seat most any bullet 140 to 162 grs and it would BUG HOLE. From then on I always do my serious load work with cases that have been fire formed. [/QUOTE]
