After receiving the gun back from the gunsmith with an assurance the chamber was fine and the headspace was ok. I checked the chamber neck depth (2.632"), brass length @2.569".
This is where it gets embarrassing......when I was cleaning the barrel, I noticed the brush felt very tight for about...
I started out using 869 and 50BMG with 129 ABLRs. No pressure problems, jus 2+ MOA groups. At around 70 rnds through the gun I switched to 140 Gr AB and 869. No pressure problems until around 150 rnds and going to RL-33 and RL-50.
When I measure the powder I use a trickler after getting close to the desired weight. I check calibration of both the electronic scale and the balance beam.
I didn't trim the brass. Book length is 2.590". My brass is avg 2.573". I neck size only.
I clean gun around 25 to 30 rnds. Second to last patch has small amount of oil, then followed by dry patch.
My chrono is out of service.
