    Pressure problems ADG brass

    I just measured 6 shell's water capacity with RO water on my better scale and came up with an average of 81.3gr. Low - 81.2, high 81.5. I measured a WIN case I had no problems with 64gr RL 17 and it had a water capacity of 82.4. I would sure appreciate if someone could tell me what QuickLoad...

    Pressure problems ADG brass

    I am struggling a little with new ADG brass. I know it is thicker and has less capacity, so I did a ladder from Nosler book load for my 300 WSM of RL17, 180 NAB, REM 9/12M primer starting at 62. I made it to 63.2 and say pressure signs - ejector mark, heavier bolt lift. I saw a velocity...

    Mini groups within 5 shot group

    not necessarily. and it's a small sample size, I've just seen it a few times, but it occurs. I just thought the "mini" groups might be a known anomaly, I'm in agreement with DrMike I should just ignore it and look at the whole group, which needs work ;)

    Mini groups within 5 shot group

    These bullets are seated at .21 off of the lands, how am I all over the place on seating depth? Barnes will typically shoot well seated very deep. I guess my Accubond comment was unrelated, just trying to say it does shoot other bullets well at different depths, but that's a different bullet...

    Mini groups within 5 shot group

    I would say just this rifle. I have a Tikka that consistently puts shots touching, but the groups are nicer. I did check the scope and action torque, thanks guys. The LRX, I can't seat any deeper, I'll be out of bearing surface. The TTSX I could go a bit deeper. I can't seat any closer than...

    Mini groups within 5 shot group

    Thanks DrMike. What would your advice generally be to tighten up?

    Mini groups within 5 shot group

    What would you say about consistently having groups of 2 shots grouping, but those groups not grouping together. Pictures to explain. One pic is 175 LRX, one is 180 TTSX, both at approximately same seating depth (deep). When I don't seat as deep the groups just open up. Could it be my scope...

    RL22

    Never used 22 but love MRP. I have read MRP is A grade RL22, not sure if that's true but when I'm out of MRP I'll be trying to find some RL22!

    Chicken or Egg; Ladder test or Overall length;

    I think this is a good question, if I understand correctly. I've always done a ladder test, then adjusted seating depth. But does adjusting seating depth throw your ladder test out the window? Is your velocity now in a different node? Recently I read a suggestion to shoot a few groups at a...

    Ordered Another Tikka!

    I had in my mind the blued/black stock entry level model when I spoke. I have one of those, and it is probably my most accurate rifle to be honest. The new roughtecs and veil models are very nice looking too. But who cares they all shoot! I'm in the market for another tikka now.

    Ordered Another Tikka!

    I'm a huge Tikka fan. Saying that it wins a beauty contest kind of cracks me up though, and I agree 100% - Savages are well, savage looking. It's the barrel nut. But a Tikka isn't what I'd call "pretty." I guess when there's only 2 contestants one of them has to win!

    212 ELD-X 300 WSM

    Yes if they told me COAL and the matching CBTO I could figure it out, I'll ask them. Or if they told me length to ogive for the bullet itself

    212 ELD-X 300 WSM

    I found them to like being seated pretty tight to the lands and that was Hornady's recommendation when I emailed them

    212 ELD-X 300 WSM

    Thanks guys, apparently my question made no sense at all haha. @Guy Miner , sending me a bullet would certainly be the easiest thing to do or I'll just buy a box of them next time I see them. Thank you that's very generous. But I am planning to play with some LRXs first so I will reach out when...

    Rifle scopes

    I've never been a Leupold guy, except for one I inherited as old as me. And have shot a few elk with it. Sounds like I should be a Leupold guy from these responses. I use Vortex HS which I can't in complain about, Burris!Fullfield, Meopta. I've always loved Zeiss glass and a V4 will...
