I'll get some more rounds loaded up today and hopefully get to the range tomorrow.

Loaded up 15 rounds of my old recipe with 178gn ELDM's hopefully tomorrow accuracy returns ;)
Got a few Bergers there I'll try again now the bore has been thoroughly cleaned of copper too.
Fingers crossed, the copper fouling is probably the worst I've seen.
Prepared that it may take a few rounds for the barrel to settle in again.

See how your speeds are. You could have a carbon ring just in front of the neck in the chamber which impedes the release of bullet and cause variations in pressure spike .
Are some of those loads compressed? Looks like projectiles have taken a bit force to seat.Quote:

I definitely pulled the outlier in the first group, flinched hard no excuses it still a fantastic group.
I'm still coming to terms with shooting such a light rifle again. She's no magnum but still pushing a 178gn eldm at 2930fps needless to say it's got quite a bit of muzzle jump even with the brake fitted. I've gone back to my Greystone titanium brake as even though it's not as effective it's so much lighter than my fully dedicated directional brake.
I'm also gonna have to do something to improve the trigger, my last 3 rifles have all had Timmneys and I've become accustomed to much lighter and cleaner braking trigger. All in all very pleased.
