I am very interested in muleys testing. He was the one I followed to find my accubond load. If you can pry him away from his 200 gr load I am impressed. Again
I've killed a lot of elk with that Accubond load. But, Steve and I have been buds a long, long time. I think it will be pretty cool to smack a big Breaks bull with a Hammer. So, that's what I'm gonna do. mtmuleyI am very interested in muleys testing. He was the one I followed to find my accubond load. If you can pry him away from his 200 gr load I am impressed. Again
Well... do you have a load that shows the capability of the rifle?
How do you know the velocity variance and fliers isn't from inconsistent brass capacity? How do you know it wasn't from inconsistent neck tension?
How do you know it wasn't from inconsistent bullet length/weight?
Positive standard should be,
Same weight sorted brass annealed effectively should be used every time, bullets sorted for weight length, and chamber/barrel temp kept the same. If not, then there can be reasonable doubt in your test.
Nothing personal Rich, One of my bad habits is questioning everything. I can't sleep knowing unanswered variables are injected into my tests. If I have doubt, then my test results are flawed and I won't use the resulting data.
I didn't read past your post, but will in a moment. Thanks for taking the time to help. When I was a boss I liked to be challenged by others. You aren't subordinate, but you made a sale. Up till now I used ignorant prejudice and sometimes it works. The targets confirm that.
Question 1, I don't.
Question 2, I don't.
Question 3, I don't.
Lucky for me, some of the loads are excellent for a wanna be. Because the velocities of the CCI250 are more consistent that is the primer I most likely will use. I think it will do about 3" at 500 yards.
After I take Sue to town I will fool with answering your question for myself.

To me, yes.I weighed several of the cases with the most velocity spread. There is .6 grains difference in water weight from the lightest water to the heaviest.
Since this is new to me, is this significant?
I have always had best results federal gold medal match primers. More consistent groups.Interesting the slow Rem 9 1/2M hit outside the group. I like the hold on every shot.

In my .223 they came in last of the seven I tried. Every rifle is a new story.
.......No bullet sorting needed. They are all the same within .0002". I took care of that when they were made. Only reason to sort Hammers is if you need the therapy. ......Steve
