[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2844528, member: 91783"] Thank You windypants, yes, it is a hard world out there! Going into you rifling the lands of the rifling aren't just straight, they are tapered so they don't shear copper from the bullets that's called lead angles. Alex wheeler was playing with different angles to see if it made any difference with speed and accuracy. Yes it takes a distance for my bullets to go to sleep and settle out a bunch of very accurate long-range barrels won't shoot well at closer ranges with the loads that are used to reach out there. So then for a calling rifle I will probably have a different load than for my longer shots. You are pretty close to the lands at .016 but that is good to know at this time I am still at .062 and may need to close it down. My last 6.5 liked .125 jump to the lands running 120 grain Nosler ballistic tips. Putting the brake on mine changed the barrel harmonics just from the added weight and length of travel for the gases. It's just an interesting subject to me. I sat and watched a pair of golden eagles hunting a mule deer fawn one time.
