It was a known load in Norma brass not Lapua brass and he figured out his loaded rounds were too tight in the chamber. If you read the whole ordeal he couldnt find any load that shot under 1.5". The original question was had anyone seen a accuracy improvement by turning necks, there you go. I've...

I use a Forrester neck turner that is basically a converted case trimmer. I use a drill to drive it so I can do 100 cases in no time.

That is kind of the point of the thread Tackdriver had on his 300wm. The clearance on his brass caused accuracy issues that thinner necks fixed. That is far from the norm but it can be a problem.

I turn necks most of the time. For the most part you only have to do it once and it improves the neck tension consistency. That adds to accuracy. Its hard to get big calibers really consistent without it IMO. If your looking for max accuracy and consistency its a no brainer.

I turn necks on most everything. I like consistency and I started doing it back before the bushing dies were available to lower neck tension.

Your welcome. Sometime things so simple are amazingly frustrating. IMO that is a Lapua issue. Their clearances are too tight even for SAMMI spec chambers.

OK but if you were to draw, which bull would it be? and do they not have landowner tags in WA? In ID the landowners aren't supposed to sell the tags but it happens all the time. It's more like I'll donate to your checking account and your now my good friend that gives me a tag. :) .

I have messed with hundreds of customs barrel and every once in a while you'll get a barrel that defies all logic. I have seen several run 150-200fps faster than they should with normal pressure. In this case it was a pressure issue though.

Looks like most of the problems are solved, good job.

I'm ready too. I have 2 bull tags in Idaho, plus I put my kids and myself in for a extra elk tag in the second drawing. I also have a cow tag in WY and my oldest kid has a bull tag. My kids have bull tags here as well. 6 elk tags between us at the moment.

The case necks typically spring back several thou upon firing so your chamber is probably around .340+". Sammi is .340 BTW. I would definitely say your clearance is too tight.

If the bullet is tight on a fired Lapua case that means the clearance was tight to the chamber and the spring back was enough to create a tight neck. When I loaded the Lapua brass I had I turned the necks quite a bit. Too little neck clearance will cause pressure and erratic accuracy as well...

Smaller case capacity will pressure out sooner and have lower velocity. I had the same problem with RWS brass. It will take the pressure but it never shot well. My guess is your in the same boat. I know the 200gr AB have a longer bearing surface than the 215 Bergers we shoot and we shoot around...

I wear Lowa GTX 10.5 E width. I bought some Zamberlin's that are 11" tall this year, they were on sale at 50% off so I though I'd try them.

I showed sheep in 4H as a kid. I made decent money selling them at auction too. It was a lot of work to get the maximum benefits as you suggested.

If your saying you need help riding your property of deer and piggies, I know a guy ;).

The base of the mountains are only about 12 miles from my house and you can barely see the outline of the mountains. Super smokey today.

The upside is the director of the USSS finally resigned but it sounds like the agency went woke and is broke.

It wont work that way. Harris will appoint a VP if Joe is thrown out. Johnson would only take over if Potus and VP were killed.

I had the same thoughts and noticed the same lack of masks. There is no way I believe they haven't been giving him something to try and stay coherent and whatever that is they got abysmally wrong for the debate. None of the excuses they gave for that performance made any sense at all. If you...
