[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2250191, member: 71817"] Did you take the rifle apart for cleaning? Wood or composite stock? Removed stock from action? I found on an old Rem700 that when I put it back together because of the age and dryness of the wood stock I was able to torque the screws tighter than before, it put pressure on the barrel and screwed up my accuracy, couldn't shoot a group to save my soul. So I bought a composite stock and all is back to normal now. Further to MagnumMania's suggestion, once you get that dummy case set up, when you measure it tip to base, write the measurement down in your reloading manual so you'll have it along with data on the bullet. Remember that that measurement is only good for the bullet you have in the dummy at the time. Other makes, types, weights, tip type etc of bullets have different ogive measurements and thus will likely result in a different overall length. [/QUOTE]
