[QUOTE="Guest, post: 20722"] Steve, Yeah, I know you and everyone else is really disappointed in me with not keeping such important variables within my exclusive control. Still, it's not as bad as you seem to assume. You see, I'm not having this guy who does my reloading provide everything outright. He only provides the labor. I, on the other hand, am controlling the use of all components. As far as this last, miserable batch of ammo goes, the brass was all Lapua stuff, once or twice fired from my rifle only. The bullets were also of the Lapua brand - 250-grain Scenar HPBTs. And the propellant/charge was V.V. N560/89.5 grains. Oh yeah, the loads were all configured to measure 0.002" off the rifling at the ogive. In other words, the only difference between this batch of ammo and the previous one (which shot so well) is that the brass was fire-formed in the former batch. I hope this doesn't stump you for suggestions, Steve, 'cause frankly, I'm freakin' out over this little problem, thinking that maybe it's something with the rifle as well. We'll see after I have fire a few (10-15) rounds in which the brass has been neck sized as opposed to full length sized and an the issue of the case shoulder damage has been addressed as well.
