[QUOTE="Hunterjones, post: 2494360, member: 112130"] Man, this is a head scratcher. I’ve seen SIMILAR results on a couple of occasions with rifles that I never did figure out. I am retired recently from the precision machining business after 40 years so I know a bit about precision mechanics. I’m am with the poster who says to pull powder, primer, bullets out of old loads that shoot well and try in brass that does not shoot well…… Also maybe weigh a bunch of the old and new cartridge cases. I have seen 30’06 Hornady brass that varied 40 grains per cartridge case and everywhere between that has come out of same box of new brass. Another thing I’d consider is throwing a set of 1” micrometers on bullets new and old and seeing if OD of newer loaded bullets are varying a considerably amount (.0005/one half thousandth) or more. I had a box of Nosler Accubonds a couple years ago that had the straight part of the shank tapered .0025 (two and a half thousandths). Nosler replaced them for me. I would not have known they were tapered except that they were tapered big at boat tail and smaller toward ogive. When I started to seat them they felt fine and then once the boat tail got past the neck/shoulder junction they almost fell into the cases….. It technically COULD be something mechanical but with the components not the rifle [/QUOTE]
