[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1721392, member: 2736"] Flyers can be caused many things, You already have the tools to narrow it down. (The Chronograph). If you shoot 3 to 5 of the same load through it the flyers will show themselves with velocity changes. The SD is the clue. If you have good SD's, you should not have flyers unless there is something wrong with your loading procedure. SD's tell you if you have a good powder, bullet weight, primer, and consistent case capacity and are getting a good ignition and burn. It doesn't control accuracy at the target because that depends on the quality of the bullet and the loading quality. If I get great SD's (Normally Under .06) and get poor accuracy I look at different bullets in the same weight (To prevent changing the SD's) and do the things mentioned in other post. Bullet quality, seating depth, Case prep and concentricity. Flyers are caused by inconsistent or incompatible components normally. The other reason, (the one that no one wants to believe) is the shooter. If you have shot a lot, You can learn to call your shots when it breaks, and know where it will hit before it actually does. This really helps when you are having a bad day to know that it is not the load or the rifle. Analyze your data, and look for trends in the flyers, They are there if you look. and don't forget your self in the equation. No one shoots there best every time. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
