[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1317138, member: 99039"] I had a balance beam scale, so I hate recommending someone go out and purchase one when it may not change as much as you would want. My ES is running between 10 and 15 fps and at times I have had it down to 8 fps, but it is not consistent. I would do as others have and weigh each case after resizing and sort cases by weight. I did this to help tighten my group and it did seem to work and my ES was more stable, but not sure if that was what helped or my weighing each charge twice, I started both about the same time. Something else you may try that will not cost you any money and another person suggested it as well, try moving your seating depth from on the lands to about .020 from the lands, that should drop the pressure some. This is the load I have found that works great in my rifle, not sure if you have access to RL33, but if you do may want to try it. Rifle: Alliance Custom Armory 28 Nosler 26" barrel Stiller action Primer: CCI 250 LRM Powder: RL33 84.3 grains Seating: .020 off lands Velocity: 3093fps avg. The above combo produces an average of .595" group at 200 yards if I do my job and not rush my shots. [/QUOTE]
