[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1673061, member: 110162"] The barrel is a sendaro profile, so not spindly, but not a HEAVY barrel. I agree whole heartedly on the slow it down thing. Looking at my velocities compared to how quickly I shot, I really think the load will settle down into good ES strings as is, once the brass is fire formed, barrel gets a few more rounds down the pipe, and if I SLOW DOWN. The first 5 shots in that string had an SD less that 7 . I'm just going to shoot the 28 rounds I have loaded at different seating depths to let the barrel settle down some more, then play with some Sierra game changers I picked up, mainly just to work the rest of my brass and see if SGCs have promise as another projectile later on. Then I can run the brass through my die to bump the shoulder, trim them, set the neck tension at. 003, instead of the .005 its been, weight sort, and get down to some serious ladder work on the RL16. Only after that will I take another shot (pun intended) at the sd/es and report back with results. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED !! Its much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
