    New barrel, used/sized brass won’t chamber help

    Pre fit? Like my Criterion Remmage ? Second barrel, same load, still running the Old brass, same old RCBS dies, same dope and hits at distance. It’s one of those Old 243 cartridges.

    If you have no ballistics solver at all, ballistic ae can be on your smart phone for a few dollars. My first and only. You should have something like this in your phone and a range card can be developed from your dope. The kestral is incredible kit but if you are on property with a good range...

    .243 powder choices

    H4831 fills the case perfectly. Seems to be kind to my barrels. 3030 fps. No pressure and more reliable than I am. Lapua case, 105 hybrid, 210M, 25.5” and 26” Criterion barrels, 2.865 COAL.

    Nightforce MOAR Reticle

    It’s an excellent field reticle. A finer dot or cross hair reticle is probably what you will want Leupold fine duplex for example. There is a fine MOAR. these moar reticles get compressed at low power.

    Standard Deviation and Extreme Spread

    H 4895 is what I like in this combo. 205m, Lapua, 52 SMK. I get a lot more velocity though. 26 Varget is filling that case , probably compressed. Variation in how compressed each round create some speed variation?
