I never said it was crazy high, its why I said determine what is high.
I certainly will.
All I'm pointing out is numbers don't always equate to what an App or Chrono is suppose to be.
The exact same load just different neck tension...?
Yes
Watch this video on You Tube best I have seen.
After many years of fiddling with what depth works, I found that (in my target rifles), my best results were usually found using the procedure you use. I have stuck a few bullets, dumping powder and on one occasion, put me out of action with powder down in my Jewell trigger housing - which isn't quickly removed. I found that on the bullets I moly coated, I never had a problem sticking a bullet and you can tell the difference when unlocking the bolt on a moly coated bullet versus a bare one. I think a lot of folks get better accuracy due to better bore/bullet alignment if the loaded ammo has a bit of undesired runout which gets somewhat straightened out when pushed to jam. That is my theory, anyway....
Single figure ES's would be most people goal..
That's interesting..
It’s the reason I spent just a little time at the 100 yard target and most of my time at the long distance target and I’m using the chronograph at both. I’m not going to test 100’s of rounds at the short distance just hoping that once I find that magic velocity that’s just about equal. My intention is to make small groups at long distance and the only way to assure that is to shoot the distant target. While a projectile should track the spread as distance increases, sometimes it doesn’t and I need the magic at the long target. I’ve had one hole 100 yard loads go to 1moa at 700 yards and 3/4 moa 100 yards loads go to 1/2 or smaller moa at 700 yards with “high” es and sd. Consistently. I shake my head at others that spend excess time at the short range when their goal is distance. I’m spoiled because I have a 700 yard range and a 100 yard that I shoot from inside my shop but I still used the same behavior before that was possible. I always loaded for long distance and I made sure my target was large enough to capture my bullets. I refined my equipment and skills to make everything work at distance. I always say to the hunters that if it’ll shoot 4 inch groups at 700 yards, it’ll always be a kill anywhere between you and 700 yards if I point it in the right direction. If it opens up to 1 inch at 100 yards it’ll still be better than 4 inches at 700 yards. A head shot is a head shot and I can get it between the distances.
I find .002 to .002 + for my Target Shooting single loading works 99% of the time.
