    "I primarily shoot 115 dtacs started at 50k off lands and I just leave it there and add powder to keep it in the low 2800s for velocity." ^^^^^^^ This is what he said

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    And don't forget some powders are not cut evenly, like RL15.5. .02 to .06 on the high end. I have also seen kernels stuck together with some powders, no getting around those issues.

    I hope the info I sent you will help you dial in the V4 faster.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    This is a symptom that something in your configuration is not set up properly. Typically it is in the V4 settings but can be belts or scale settings.

    Gunsmithing Orange Vise/Area419 Collab

    They do the jaws for the vise. They only did a few runs with vise. I got mine from Orange and jaw set from Area 419.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    We are seeing very good results with very few if any overthrows. It took a while to get this moving and I suffered some injuries which required surgeries and almost 2 years of recovery, so we were not able to proceed for some time. The V4 is a good unit if you understand the settings and how...

    Yes, in final testing with some beta testers. So far results have been very good.

    What the Heck is Up With this Primer Pocket?!?!

    How many firings? Load data? Is this after firing or after sizing?

    Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

    Look at how the ammo stacks to the left and right in the mag. That's why you are left and right of center with your groups.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I have never had a problem with Alpha. Peterson was thicker and had to turn them.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    41.5 is a common load with that combo. 41 to low 42 is where it should shoot.

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    I think at this point I would try another scope. Check everything and monitor / check the action screw torque between strings. I had issues with a magnum once and the cute was to bed the action and use a small amount of lock tight on action screws. I would not rule anything out and get a bit...

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    His (OP) orig and subsequent posts say 1:8 twist. Where are you getting 1:7 from

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    That looks like residual carbon to me. I would do as others have stated, Good cleaning. Shoot without suppressor with different ammo and see what happens. How many rounds on the suppressor too? They need to be cleaned every once in a while.

    Quick Load

    Like @Dogtown said. I shoot a few charge weights so I can true QL. I can trust a trued profile. Then we shoot across the barrel time somewhere around 1 to 2 grains off max. I have had very good success finding the load the gun likes doing that. If I have to do this in a single range trip...

    BC Correction

    Apples to Oranges. Just changing the numbers in the calculator really does nothing. If you shot your zero at 103 yards thinking it was 100 and you put a 100 yard zero in your ballistics calculator - your equations at distance will never line up. It is actual numbers and performance vs...
