Goes that way sometimes. You think you have an understanding of how things work, then there's things that make you scratch your head.
Got a Rem 760 in 35 Remington that shoots factory core lokts from an inch, out to 1.5", at 100 yds with 1.25" being the standard.
Put a post on here about that gun with re-worked factory ammo. I'm now running those core lokts 200fps faster than factory.......4 shot groups are 1.25". Different point of impact obviously, but same group size.
I have them loaded at factory length of what came out of the box. Just out of curiosity I checked, and son of a gun if that length isn't jammed into the lands. :shock: I was expecting it to be the other way. No pressure issues but was a shock none the less.
Loaded some up seated deeper so that they are backed off the lands. Tested them out.....you guessed it, triangular group that measures 1.25". Primers don't look much different, neither way shows pressure.
Craziest thing I ever seen. Big changes results in the same group. I guess at least I can say it's not fussy with those Core Lokts. Load up what suits your fancy as far as pressure and speed and it shoots the same.
