I made a trip to the range to shake the dust off a few rifles and check again for rifles shot not using fcd and those that do.
Results: One 30-06 shot a group anyone could be proud of w/o fcd and the other shot a 1/2 inch group.Previous targets show a benefit of fcd.
45-70 all targets show a benefit of fcd and zero bullet set back.
300 Weatherby mag with .003 neck tension shot a reasonable group but I can do better and I will use fcd and compare targets but one problem was the sharpie ring on a round in the magazine was gone so bullet set-back happened,not alot but some.
That was with R P Brass.I have new Norma/Weatherby brass I will test next trip out.One without fcd just .003 neck tension to see if neck tension by itself can stop bullet set-back.
I'll test a few other rifles soon
I had a fcd before I joined this forum but Butterbean and a few others schooled me on proper use of fcd and I thank all you guys.
