Dougy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I will try some different loads this week end at 150 yds 3 x 3 shot groups with different seating depths and post up the pics, i could even use the cam corder. I'll see what the weekend brings. second thoughts i will go out to 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazed Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Find a load that clover leafs and stick to it (for vermin control) chasing the one hole group will never happen and it will save you £££££££ This is sooooo true lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Crimping with a lee crimping die definitely tightened up my groups with the .223 and the hornet, more so with the .223. The only other thing I can add and its already been mentioned is consistency, I try to do everything exactly the same every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The only problem with crimping is it's the only bit not constant. Unless you have a lee constant crimp lmao Ow god more money. Nar still think crimping is a marmite affair. Another thing crimping will help with is that it will keep the bullet tight in the case in a sporting rifle where ammo is being loaded into magazines and unloaded again when not fired when out stalking . Ammo can be loaded and unloaded several times before being shot through the rifle . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser I have only ever lost a bullet from its case when working with very light neck settings, even when you want a bullet out of the case its not like they fall out easy when you use std factory dies. Big Game rifles crammed into smaller length magazines are an exception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Fister, you are having a big push on books and that is an open door for me; Are you able to put some of the more readily available ones in a ranking of usefulness to a novice reloader? Does anyone else have any thoughts on the best books..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Game rifles crammed into smaller length magazines are an exception I don't mean that bullets will fall out of the cases wholesale . But they can get a cant on them from multiple passing through the magazine and being chambered and un chambered causing a loss in accuracy Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
