    Does it have to be adjustable? As I have a torch mount which firs a weaver rail here, but it's non adjustable.

     

    Yes mate it needs to be adjustable.

    I can get one, but I don't know what to do with the other 49 I'd need to order....

  20. Case sizing issues? Or is something completely shagged?

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Right to set the scene, when i last zero'd my rifle i had problems with my group size, which is normally under 1'' opening out to 2-3''.

     

    These were essentially the same loads as i have used previously with good effect, however they had one difference. Due to difficulties using my neck sizing die, all my previous cases, and therefore loads, had been full length sized, however i thought i had solved the problem with the die, so these cases were neck sized.

     

    Whereas with the full length die its just one smooth stroke of the press, to get neck tension with the neck sizing die i was having to use CONSIDERABLE force and repeat the process multiple times to get a acceptable neck tension on the cases.

     

    You can feel the difference when seating the bullet, with full length sizing there is some resistance, whereas with neck sizing you can do it with one finger.

     

    Would this difference cause a problem?

     

    I ask because tonight when stalking, i was in a high seat with a rock steady shooting position, and the crosshairs were firmly on the deers chest (at 60-70 yards) (heart lung area) and my first bullet went straight through its guts, and my next (using a very similar, if not the same point of aim) went through the ribcage, but quite far back destroying the liver.

     

    Now obviously i wont be using the rifle again on live quarry till its sorted, but would differing neck tensions have this affect on the accuracy of the rounds?

     

    Or is it more likley to be a underlying issue with the rifle?

     

     

    Cheers

     

    You have the die set up incorrectly i would put money on it.
