[QUOTE="terry, post: 319917, member: 20636"] Thanks a bunch for helping me! I have a 300 ultramag necked-up to a .338 cal. built on a Mark V action. I can shoot sub MOA groups with this gun when shooting a 200g. Nosler. So, recoil has not been a problem. Also, I am using a gun rest that is weighted with a strap behind the butt of the stock to do away with recoil during tuning of the rifle. Also, the barrel has a muzzlebrake. There was no wind on my shooting range which has flags. From the pointers that you gave me, I need to check throat length. I am seating my bullets deep to load from the magazine. I guess that I may have to use it as a single shot if that is the problem. Plus, from the way you write, the freebore increases the throatlength which throws-in another variable. If I can fully engrave the lands before leaving the case neck, how far back should the bullet be placed before the lands? Also, I did not work-up a load but shot three grains below what was considered maximum for the bullet. Thanks for letting me know that I skipped a basic procedure. Now, I will work-up the load. Jerry, thanks so much for your help. It is much appreciated. Later, I will give you an update. Terry [/QUOTE]
