Fixing high ES

[TackDriver284]

It may have got lost as you've a ton of what if replies here...

But I'm curious as to how you came up with seating .030 off.

Unless I missed it you've mentioned nothing about your seating depth minus seating it .030 below and that was what...
Again...perhaps I missed something 🤷‍♂️

I started off with .010" off, and worked deeper until I found a one hole group @ 100, but the ES is not what I liked.

I have never tried JLK bullets, but I have heard of them. I have a 11:25 twist, and I have used up to 178 grains in ELD M and X. Never tried the 180's and over. They were deadly on deer, easy bang flop each time.

Will This be used for deer sized game?
If so, the JLK's will Not work like A-Max's, ELD-M's or ELD-X's

No sir, my intention is to be used for long range matches. Sorry for bringing up the " deer " 😁

I would try seating deeper before you give up on it

Yes, also .001 more neck tension.

 

[xphunter]

Are you at one or two thou of neck tension currently?
I would go up to 5 thou.

I was at .001 thou, just changed from .336 to a .335 bushing, its the only smaller bushing i have. Loaded neck measures at .337

I don't typically go to 5 thou neck tension, but I would go to 3, if 2 doesn't work
