[QUOTE="EarlYoung, post: 1360452, member: 102663"] That is correct. I thought of maybe bringing them closer to the lands (increasing COAL), but, forgive me if Im asking a dumb question, will moving the bullet 0.01" or even closer forward really do much toward fixing 3" strings? If I do, should I need to start over in load developing from the chance of the bullet making contact with the lands however small and over-pressuring? I'm already at the minimum COAL with the bullet being 0.03" off the lands if that's helpful. I'm yet to start backing off powder in half a grain increments to see if my groups improve but Im not close to book max and I have no pressure signs. I'm sure there are many possible causes for my results and I may not have the experience to know how significant a role each problem might be. Ive only been able to troubleshoot once a week for a while and will be likely for another month or more because of work so I've been researching when I can to make the best use of the time I get to spend at the reloading bench and range. It's all I've been able to think about everyday and it's been driving me just a little nuts. [/QUOTE]
