[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 2108644, member: 21524"] What distance are you shooting at? Is this a custom rifle/custom barrel/bedded/chassis/mini chassis? What twist is your barrel? Is it sufficient to completely stabilize that bullet? Why are you waiting 4 minutes between shots? That has to take forever. You want to know what your barrel is going to do while it’s both cold and warm. If your shooting charge weight groups, which it looks like you are, then 15-45 seconds between shots and 45-90 seconds between groups is sufficient. A warm barrel is fine, you just don’t want it to get hot. This is potentially a very protracted conversation. I think that the following video might help you quite a bit. Despite what a lot of people think, most rifles shoot jacketed bullets most consistently when you are jumping 40-50 thou or so to start. It’s a jump distance window where your rifle will shoot the most consistently the longest. Sometimes it works better to start with a seating depth test first and then shoot a charge/veloctity ladder. Regardless, it’s a lot to go over.
