    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    I wouldn't have thought that a dirty barrel with 30 rounds shot would have given me 20's for sd's.

    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    Well. Some good news to report today. I did the following. Cleaned the crap out of the rifle which only has 30 rounds down the pipe since that last cleaning and range day. Garmin also did an update that I installed for this session and the rounds I loaded and shot were with the Wilson modified...

    I had someone shooting on a bench by me but he was about 15 feet away.

    No. I've never mounted the chrono to the rifle.

    All things the same. Primers, headspace. neck tension, OAL. As well as base to ojive. What does the firing pin, spring, bolt and trigger have to do with this? No. Velocities were different.

    All the brass (100) pieces was prepped in the same session so I don't believe that neck tension was the issue. Even the same pound of H4350 came out of the same container.

    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    Ya. I don't buy that whole got lucky thing. In my 20 years of reloading I have never seen where you do a ladder test one week. Then repeat the test the next week and get totally different results. Brand new Alpha brass. In fact the only thing the brass needed was to chamfer and debur the case...

    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    I've always used 5 shots as a starting point with 6.5 and .308 and never had any issues. If they group well then I move on to repeatability and OAl. Normally the ones that group the best have the worst sd/es so I really don't chase those anymore. Learned that from experience. But every now and...

    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    Worked up a few great rifle loads last week. SD'S anywhere from 2-6. ES anywhere from 5-10. Reloaded the same this week. Same powder and charge, brass and primers and seating depth with same bullets and A&D 120 scale and Garmin Chrono. Well I must say this shocked me. SD'S were running in the...

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    Thanks again. Im still not a fan of the Hornady 105gn BTHP. First loads I worked up were running 9 SD'S and 20's for ES. On the other hand the first loads with the 105 gn Barnes Match Burners were getting me 2,3, and 4 SD'S with ES anywhere from 5 up to the lower teens.

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    Ya. Don't know anything about those or anyone I know that has ever used them. Plus it looks like they go in increments of .005 so something I can't really use. Thanks anyway. Just shipped out the VLD stem for modification because it looks like that is the issue here and not neck tension.

    Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

    I measured OD of fully sized neck at .270. Loaded round OD is .271. So as I said before there is .001 neck tension.
