    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    Ain't that the truth! I use Hornady match ammo as well as my hand crafted loads and Hornady never fails to have a surprise .

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    Oh, yeah, brain fart. 🤪. For 6.5mm it would actually be 0.2645". Basically 0.0005" more than the ideal diameter on 0.264" Thanks for pointing that out.

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    The Creedmoor chamber freebore diameter is spec'd at 0.2435". So, if the new bullet is 0.2435" or greater you could have interference fit. Another possibility is the carbon ring buildup is aggravating the small-ish freebore diameter.

    Reloading Application to Document the Reloading Process

    Since there isn't a bullet proof process cast in stone, I doubt there is an app that follows it.

    Horizontal sway

    I hate to say it, but it's you. I can relate from personal experience. What seemed to help me is to first set up the gun on the bags pointing at the target. Then insert your RELAXED self behind the rifle. My grip is just a little pressure straight back with whatever part of my fingers are...

    Primer Sorting for Precision Loads

    Bryan Zolnikov has a YouTube channel which he has a few videos talking about this. If you go looking for them they are marked "3 years"

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    Which cartridge names are you seeing the most? I'm wondering if they are ones that had a disconnect between the SAAMI cartridge drawing and chamber drawing.

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    I loaded some more up with 40.9 grains of H4350. Here's a picture of a 5-shot group at 100 yds. (click on for larger image)

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    Well, it depends on a lot of variables but if you have a good barrel on a good rifle, you should be able to get 1/2" at 100 yds or better. On one of my rifles I was working up a load for, everything I tried on it was less than 1" at 100 yards. My latest testing experiment looks like I found...

    What a good gunsmith

    I've had really good experiences with Triggered Precision Machine in Idaho. https://triggeredprecision.com/ Here's a video of a barrel TPM did for me. It's perfect.

    MPA BA Chassis magazine issues

    If you insert the magazine and then pull down on it does it come out? It sounds like the mag isn't latching in completely.

    Question about trimming

    If you trimmed to 1.915" would that get most of them?
