[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 672015, member: 48043"] Was it hotter out the last time at the range? I'm getting roughly the same groups out of my rifles whether the brass is fired or not. Fresh brass simply isn't that different to make a 1/2" or less load toss to 4-5" at 300 like that. You should by at 1.5"-2" at that range. You are also rather hot on your powder charge considering you are into the jamb. Hodgdon online lists 49.5 as top load in the 6.5x284 with a 140speer and 50.3 with a 142 sierra. I don't have the hornady book but trust hodgdon that their charges aren't soft. I've hit the wall with their data half-way up more than once. [/QUOTE]
