Long Range Heavy Bullet Rifle Help?

[Curly]

I think it may be a trick question.  Winchester mag primers are designated WLRM........not  9 1/2.  Did you use Remington?

215's.  They have a rep of being more accurate than the 215m's deservedly or not.

I fixed it....it was a remington 9 1/2....not a Winchester.

Dang near a 1/4" group.  Now to reproduce it tomorrow......just worked another 20 rounds to make sure this was no fluke.

I've had ragged holes loads at 100 that didn't do well at 500, but you've got a great start !

Nice buddy! I think your getting this one figured out👍
Bear season is just a couple months away😉

I have only seen that once so far......I hope to keep it that way.  How dissapointing would that be with a sub 1/2 moa out a 200 grain bullet.  I will be hitting the range again today and will report back.

That's what this rifle is for.....Can't wait.

I had a perfect load then the next batch of bullets were .006 longer overall and ogive in slightly different spot and I had been just writing down ogive depths then found my ogive gage insert had worn .007 and then with a new batch of powder on top of that I was back to searching for the unicorn.   Moral is dont trust your ogive gage it can change.  Next time I will label one round “unicorn” and save it.  Of course it mite only be great at one set of conditions but should be good at many.

I'd say if your accuracy node is that small you are screwed anyways

What the heck are you doing to your poor bullet comparator/s to make it/them get any wear, let alone .007?  I sort nearly all my bullets and I've sorted thousands with the same bullet comparator set and never had one of my inserts get worn or change its inside diameter.  Are you using a bullet comparator made of papier mache or something???

Sounds more like batch variations on bullets than comparator wear.

You might be right !

Ino !  Trying to play close to the lands to reduce es with RL33 and its really sensitive to depth up close but if I want great es and accuracy I haven't found it anywhere else with this powder. Didn't want to be in the lands but may have to or live with es in the 30's
