been thinking about acuracy.

is ingnorance bliss here?

been thinking somehow im easily getting my rifles to shoot were it kinda seems others are doing alot more to get theres to shoot.

im doing basic case prep im not turning or trueing to same length basicaly all i do is run em through the resizer scrub out the case necks and primer pockets wipe of the case lube and use a qtip iside the case kneck incase an oil was in there.

im finding the 2506 is the easiest to size. im not lubeing the inside of the case knecks also i found that putting case lube on the foam pad that comes in the nosler bullet boxes works best for lubeing my cases that rcbs oil pad deal was kinda a pain.

3006 cases seemed to be kinda finicky to resize i set up the dies per rcbs directions and procedded to dimble the shoulders. bumped the dies off a bit and all was good. though they arent completly full length sized now.

the 220 was finicky the same way, in its lenght after full lenght sizeing they needed trimmed to fit in the chamber right. also this is #1 action may be alittle difrent and tighter than my bolt actions

so basic sizeing and prepp then all loads are trickled to the same exact charge. wich is i think were my acrucy is comeing from. i got curious the other day and set the scale at 1 grain to see how much powder that was. i was suprised to find that there were about 20 granuals of rl19 sitn there when i was done. i wouldnt have figured that much.
wich means my loads are way tighter than a 1grain tolerance. each load is tricled out to dead nuts on.

i think since im new and just going with it that things are comeing fairly easy. it seems each time i do a new load or powder combo i find a load that meets my standerds in no more than 7 powder charges. this is after going to sujest most acurate powder in the nosler manual

i spent this morning dinkn around sizeing and prepn 2506 cases. ive about burned through 100 win mag primers in a week. all in the 2506. ive got 50 cases prepped and primed and am off to drop powder and bullets now.

gona do range test to 300yds and see how she does this after noon. hopn to have 50rds done by about 1 hopefully sooner than that.

later
Evan
