[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1592058, member: 101755"] I'm sure there is a great explanation why, but I can't think of it. I was breaking in my new EABCO Accuracy 6.5X284 barrel yesterday and the jag unscrewed and off my rod. I know it's going to do that, but I thinking about the next shot...shooting my 300wsm in between shots while letting the solvent soak. So I had forgot to tighten the thing. Sooo, I thought I would find out "Why"? Oh...how did the new barrel shoot? I was very pleased! I just grabbed a load out of thin air with 140 RDF's...yeah, I know pricey bullet for break in. I ran 5 over the magnetospeed just to see where the load was velocity wise and had a super low SD and ES! So I have a nice starting point once I have a few down the pipe. I get frowned upon for using budget gear, but I think my entry level "stuff" works just fine! Savage Axis Action, EABCO Accuracy barrel, Boyds thumb hole stock, Axis trigger kit, EGW base, Vortex rings and Millet MRAD scope. Any way, let the barrel cool...dialed up my dope from the JBM calculator and fired one shot at clean white steel...400yds. Used my glasses to give scale on steel size![ATTACH=full]125865[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
