[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3155465, member: 15054"] Do you have any more factory ammo that you did not shoot? If yes and you have an inertia bullet puller I would try this. Pound the bullet out farther by .150" and seat it to where it is the same length as your reloads measured from base to the ogive. You may be surprised at the accuracy increase. I have taken a lot of factory ammo apart and it all measures very well and the poor accuracy I have traced to inconsistent neck tension and wrong overall length of the loaded round for my gun. I did take some 308 ammo apart that used BL-C2 powder or what looked like it and in my testing with 150gr there is an accuracy node at 45gr and the factory ammo was above that so i reduced the load to 45 gr of the factory powder and stuck them back together. shot very tight groups.. and yes the crimp was eliminated in the process.. so 2 things changed. See what I mean it's an addiction. [/QUOTE]
