voilà Some more info on your load might help? Regards JCS

+1. I did a dry run in the dining room getting it all set up. First outing in the field on a grey damp windy morning was a revelation. Regards JCS

+1 on that. I've just got a MagnetoSpeed and that's an excellent bit of kit. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12296998/Magnetospeed/GAT%20Rifles%20260%20Rem%20%2B%20MagnetoSpeed.jpg Regards JCS

Looks very good. The only comment I would make is I have one sheet for brass prep and record the load details separately as I may load several different loads from one set of prep'd brass. I find that I keep amending my brass prep sheet as my view on what to do evolves. Regards JCS

This is what I did when I neck turned, but I've given up the habit now I'm using Lapua brass in my 260 Rem. Regards JCS

I think to answer this question, you need to test the loads at your maximum range. The only potential benefit higher POA gives, is if you are toiling for elevation on your scope. Regards JCS

In my 260 Rem, I sort into 1 gr lots for Remington brass. I don't bother for Nosler or Lapua brass. Regards JCS

My rifle was chambered so that a dummy round measuring as above, just touched the lands. Regards JCS

One die will resize your brass less than the other one. I would suggest you run a trial and try and work out which die works better with your rifle. Good luck. JCS

A question re the order you fired the rounds in. Did you fire all the 40.1 rounds then move on to the 40.5? Sometimes for a test like this I shot one round at each load weight, going up the weights, then let the rifle cool. Then I start at the highest load and work down the weights, then let the...

Very similar to this. Although I have to sub contract the annealing at the minute. Annealing after every fourth firing currently. Regards JCS

Secrets of the Houston Warehouse Regards JCS

At this time of year I'm typically trying to shoot a group of three deer (or more) and not many groups of deer will stand around for a minute. I think you need to look again at your rifle. I want my rifles to be able to handle a number of shots without worrying about the POI moving. Regards...

Being beaten in competitions is painful, but regrouping and thinking about what I could do better has helped my reloading a lot. Regards JCS

I had success with 142 SMKs, 43.4 gr of H4350, CCI 200 primers and Remington brass (<162gr cases). These Remington cases were specifically selected Remington cases in the 159 gr to 162 gr weight range and had been fired 3 times on my successful test. I didn't use heavier Remington cases for this...

Full length resize your brass. If your full length resizing die is done, buy another one. Regards JCS

I would try 27.8, 27.9, 28.0 and 28.1 again. Regards JCS

This is a good article I found recently. Worth reading right to the end. http://www.davidtubb.com/davidtubb/content/graphics/pdfs/6XC_die_instructions_2012.pdf Not daft about David's dies, but found the final page very informative. Regards JCS

Maybe you should manufacture and sell seating die stems to your design? Just a thought. Regards JCS

I use a Wyatt's Extended Magazine box on my rifle. It will cater for a round that's up to 3.1 inches long. Remington 700 SA in 260 Rem - The Stalking Directory Photo Gallery Current 123gr A-Max load measures 2.854 inches and is ~ 0.005 inches off the lands. Current 140gr A-Max load...
