[QUOTE="strap14, post: 1337928, member: 66598"] What caliber? You mentioned the load of 69.1 grs of H1000, Primers, 162 Amax but I wasn't seeing which caliber. Also I've been a machinist most of my adult life, so the amount you said your bullet was off (you wrote of), the lands I presume was meant to be, five one thousandths of an inch, is that correct? That would usually be marked as .005". With these longer bullets, we really need to have a good gage to consistantly set them don't we? They have so long of an tangent/ogive area, reducing slowly from the shorter major diameter, especially if they are a BT bullet that you have to creep up on the seating depth, to get it set just right. Great shooting, I've never had a rifle that accurate myself. [/QUOTE]
