What's the deal? Necks (see pic)

If I didn't know better, I might agree. But trust me, that's not it in his case. Again, it's not an issue if it shoots well and it does.
I can assure you it is NOT low pressure! I came within 2 points last year of winning the KY State Championship (I shot 2 different targets at 200 due to mirage and lost 1 point each time (from 11 to 10 and 10 to a 9)).

We're pretty close or might be shooting the same load. I plan to back down to save brass life, with Lapua 6.5 Grendel being non-exisitent for ever how long that might be, anyway. I found a good load that is milder with h4895 and 80's after blowing out some 220 brass a while back. No idea of speed yet...probably around 3100 with 80's so it's still not bad. FWIW very top end loads will push 80's at 3400 but I don't get good brass life up there. I figure about 6 or 7 firings up there before primer pockets get really loose and I start getting clickers and heavy bolt lift. It shot small with the reduced load but I'll test it more to see if it holds up and test other powders too.
