    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    Alright, I've pulled all remaining bullets and re-tooled here. I just received my Gem Pro 250, and while it's not the top of the line necessarily - it sure pointed out a huge spread in charge weights that the Charge Master just doesn't account for. What I thought was a lot of 30 rounds with...

    Punch list for repairs

    Hahaha THANKS! I have a minor issue when I first visit the home page for forums. I log in, and stay logged in - but only on the home page it says I'm not logged in. If I enter username and password, and then stay on the home screen it still appears that I'm not logged in.. but as soon as I...

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I'll make sure to bring pictures later this week from the next trip out. Once I get this figured out, I'm also going to have to figure out why my dope on my Kestrel is so wrong at 300yd. I'm guessing I measured my sight height wrong or something like that

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    Alright I believe ya. Ghengis is convinced me yesterday to give it a shot with the expander ball before I do anything crazy like sell my stock of RDFs off. I'll report back Thursday or Friday

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I appreciate your thoughts, but I have to disagree. You don't have to go far on this board to find a much tighter ES than mine. I'm not trying to improve my SD, I'm trying to improve my ES

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    Very well.. that about settles that. I suppose if I figure out my issue I can solve that 6fps issue fairly easily by sorting if I needed to.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I don't know.. do you really think a 174.2gr bullet fired right after a 175.6gr bullet won't have any variation in velocity? Because that's what I'm seeing. I'm not being sarcastic.. I truly don't know. I did forget to mention that I'm shooting suppressed. I doubt that makes any difference though.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    So I've pondered the advice I've received here all day, and I thank you all for it. I think I've got a game plan. First off, I think even if the 175 RDFs aren't the culprit, the variation in the weight is just going to bug me too much, and it will be in the back of my head.. so I'm selling...

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I'll give it a shot. I'm not trying to argue and say you're wrong - but I just don't know if I can justify the cost of a neck turning setup and then, most of all, the effort to turn them.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    Well I don't neck turn and I don't really plan on starting. Honestly if neck turning is what it takes to get my ES down then I'll live with my current ES. I have single digit ES on my other .308 (... ok it's usually around 12) and have never neck turned. One thing I didn't mention is that I get...

    I'll work up a sample lot of some with less neck tension that are annealed and some with the same new neck tension without annealing.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    Some questions: how did you settle on 44.8? Did you do load development and 44.8 was the most stable? I ran a OCW test and tested from 44.2 to 45.0 gr in .2gr increments. They all yielded decent groups, but the average velocity (out of 5 shots each load) rose steadily for all .2gr jumps. Once I...

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I use an Annealeeze and I set it up with 750* tempilaq on the inside of the case neck.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I'm going to have to do another OCW test I'm thinking.. but the charge I selected for these 40 rounds was the result of a OCW test. They honestly all had pretty good groups, but the 44.8gr was a tiny bit better and it was kind of the spot where my velocity didn't jump up quite as much from the...

    Speed up your powder weighing with a GemPro250

    Thanks for posting this info.. I kind of thought I needed to spend $1,200 bucks to get a scale that accurate.. so I'll have a Gem Pro here on Tuesday.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    The brass is brand new and I didn't anneal any different than I usually do. These have only been annealed once before sizing.

    What's causing these ES numbers? Help me analyze, please

    I've got a brand new rifle that I've been working up a load for. I am trying to get a good ballpark load to shoot about 100-150 rounds through before I set my sights on my final COAL/jump. Even just in the first 60 rounds my bullet has gone from touching the lands at 2.227 to now 2.232. What I'm...

    Opened a package of disappointment today - Labradar didn't arrive intact

    Well, it turned on! That's sayin something for LR. That unit never made it out to the range. Thanks to Bison Tactical I had a properly packed replacement within 48 hours. Midway is returnig the damaged one for me. <a...
