[QUOTE="Jester896, post: 1475617, member: 41793"] Yes, all 3 built by the same guy. no all of my rounds weren't loaded with the same scales. The problem exists with them being loaded on either scale though. The other 2 rifles were loaded with the same equipment, same 8# jug of powder, only mine was mixed, but got the same result. It didn't matter if I used powder out of the 8# or my 1#. I even used rounds he loaded for his rifle. It also didn't matter whether I used FC, Winchester, or Norma brass. Yes, it is the same LabRadar we all use. The STW did not blow up. I am not sure how I gave that impression. It was built by a different Smith and didn't perform well. I actually believe it was a factory defect. It may have been one of the contributing factors of why it didn't perform well. I am not sure how it got past the builder either. I am not sure what I expect Frank to do. It was suggested that I contact him by another poster. I started the thread to knock around ideas as to why this may be taking place. I have all of the confidence in the world in my builder. I have watched him make somewhere between 15-20 rifles 2 of them being other rifles of mine. He has also made some I didn't watch him do. I have only seen 2 issues in those. One didn't perform as expected and when scoping the barrel he found an issue about 2" in from the muzzle. He sent the barrel back and the mfg who found no issue with it. He replaced the barrel because it was speced at 26". He removed 2" from the barrel and installed it in another action...and it shot lights out...just 24" now. Then there is mine. [/QUOTE]
