[QUOTE="Tcox, post: 2870387, member: 10058"] I returned today, but only to continue further development at 300. I stayed with my best charge weight and played with depth. I moved in .005 increments starting at 2.940" and moving deeper to 2.920 (contacting lands at 2.945). As expected the hybrids liked a .010 jump. I loaded 7 to those specs and shot a .481" group center to center. My strings were mostly horizontal so I suspect most of the play in the group was me. I'm really surprised at how well my rifle is shooting and better yet, I had a witness for this trip. Hopefully I'll be able to get to the farm and go further than 300 sooner than later. I'm pretty surprised by the variance in overall length of these. The distance to the ogive is pretty consistent, but the projectile over all length varies by +\- .005. According to what I've read, it doesn't have a substantial effect on accuracy. Jcann: yessir, I'm shooting a 6.5 creedmoor built by Norbert Costa. [/QUOTE]
