If he is using the same ammo that used to punch bullet holes and are now grouping like a scatter gun, I would lean more toward bore scoping the barrel and looking for carbon and copper build up. As mentioned above the crown would also be wise to check as well.

Chevy or Ford. Blonde or brunett . Preference.

If I get any lube that is difficult to remove from inside the neck, I just dump all the brass in lacquer thinner. Swirl around a few minutes then remove and place in the tumbler. Hornady Unique case lube when neck turning is a prime example All other inside neck lube is graphite and number 6...

If it will still chamber, neck size only and shoot it again see what your measurements are then. Your chamber may be wide enough the the outward expansion was enough to allow the case length to be shorter after firing.

It will also depend on what you think will be the range most of your shots will be taken. This is my thoughts for deer. I use primarily 150-175 grain pills. Somewhat overkill. Out to 200 yards I would stay with a bonded bullet. If you hit bone you will appreciate the fact the bullet did not...

You can load longer or shorter than the cannelure as long as you treat your load development the same as any other round and work up safely for that rifle, bullet and powder combo. The cannelure does not mean you have to seat the bullet to that depth.

Lapua is SP. Hornady is LR. Starline is your choice.

Can't speak directly to the SST projectile, but the 140 AMax is pretty happy at ~2690 and the ELDM is happy ~2710. Both with a 24" barrell. I would not think that would be too much different with the SST. Granted there is a node upper 2700's, but not needed for our tiny NC deer. Well above max...

You said you bumped the shoulder back due to being fired in your old rifle. Maybe you had too much headspace when you bumped the shoulder back for the new rifle. I would see if a fired round would still chamber. If so, fire another round with your last charge in that piece of brass and look to...

I had the issue with my .270 brass once. It was operator error. Had my expander button set too high in the die. Deprime in a separate step and had removed the decapping pin from the die and did not notice how far up in the die I had left the expander. Not saying it this is the same...

All of the charges listed above share a very close point of impact. Just a difference in group sizing and SD. I will make all charges as close as mechanically possible within the margin of error for my scale. Kind of particular about that anyway. All 50 will be chronoed with a Labradar and...

I do believe I am going to load 25 each of 41.7 and 41.8. Shoot 'em and smallest average wins.

z7, Yes. I am withing the margin of error. There are 5 shots per charge. Small data group on this firing, but have 2 other fire strings with similar data. I am at maximum mag length. When/If, I do start seating depth adjustments I can only seat deeper. Mostly shooting for fun and bragging...

Been lurking for quite some time, just never have had any input due to not being as experienced as most of the forum. So I have been trying to learn as much as I can before posting. Have only been handloading for ~4 years. Currently I load for 30-06, .270 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmore. The...
