[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 843541, member: 63748"] [SIZE=2]How meticulous are you with your reloading? By this I’m referring to reloading the best possible match ammo for a factory gun, or any gun of that matter. If you can articulate every aspect of your reloading process you are headed there! I have experienced more than one occasion a factory rifle shooting quality reloaded ammo performing better than a custom rifle with "so so" reloaded ammunition.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Sporter contour barrels on factory guns can be very picky with internal ballistics and harmonics to include torque settings. My Savage LRH during load development was around 2"+ initially with proven recipes. I make significant changes in powder charge and seating depth during development if warranted. Once I see a change in group size it’s time to refine to smaller changes. Sometimes as much as .005" in seating depth and/or .1 gr. powder charge make all the difference. Not to mention a change in primer.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]No set solution. Frequently changes to powder charge and seating depth are a good start.
