[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2567563, member: 12170"] I set my chronograph at 15' from the muzzle. I believe most manufacturer's recommend 10' +. As long as you do it the same distance every time, it isn't a big deal. I can't get Varget to meter very accurately through my powder measures. I use an RCBS chargemaster so that eliminates that problem. Your problem could be cartridge runout, inconsistent thrown charge weights, shooter etc...We are all guessing at your problem until we can get some more data. That's one thing about reloading is that you need to be very methodical or else you are changing too many variables at once. Then you are just going to get lucky if you find something that works. One other thing, I don't use the expander ball in my reloads. I take it out completely. If you are not lubing properly it can actually jerk the shoulder out and is a contributor to bullet runout. The most accurate ball powder I have shot with the 77 grn bullets is AA2520. You can see how a 77 grn Nosler and AA2520 performed in my rifle below.
