I forgot to add that we were shooting 600yds using Shotmarker so the “Key Holeing” issue is unknown.

I shoot a 6mm Norma Dasher and love it. It is my 600 Mid Range rifle and I’m a high Master with it. I have found I’m jumping .020 off the lans. Now take it that I’m using Norma long neck brass. Bruno’s is my source for it.

Thanks for discusssing the Berger 85.5 issues I’m having. After watching the live video of Gavin discussing and issues to look into. Where is a few things I’ve found.
1. The barrel twist rate is more like 1-7.75 than 1-7. Discussing this with Benhmark
2. After a thorough cleaning of the chamber and bore. I borescoped the barrel.…Read more

We will look into this for YouTube, or for a video here in PRO! I like the idea of capturing “actual rounds per hour” with all factors taken into account. We have a new round counter from Armanov that could come in handy here!

    Hi Gavin,
    I am pretty new to reloading and I recently started a .308 load development project and ended up observing something I didn’t expect. Before I continue too far down the rabbit hole, I wanted to see if you’ve encountered anything similar.

    ● Remington 700 SPS Tactical
