[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 76406, member: 10"] Arthurj. Checking run outs on your loaded ammo is what you need to do but also remember that if you run your ammo from the magazine when using the rifle, you have a great likelyhood of inducing bullet run out from the stresses of forcing the cartridge over the feed ramp and out of the magazine. This becomes more critical the shallower the bullet is seated into the case neck, obviously because there is less physical grip on the bullet by the case neck. Cycle some ammo through your rifle, in a safe place with the muzzle in a safe direction with the safety on. Measure the run outs before and after you cycle the ammo though the rifle and see if there is any run out induced by cycling the round. Also check to make sure the bullet is not seated deeper into the case. This will not cause any dangerous situations but it will result in velocity and accuracy variations and can also be a result of shallow seating depth combined with a relatively light neck tension level. If your running a single shot, disrequard this post [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
