I have the same barrel from midway . When i first started shooting it bullets were hitting all over the place . I was using H 123. amax . it took 2 boxes for it to start shooting tight groups . did your barrel have this problem ?
I started to reload some 140g bullets i found at an old hardware store . I be testing them on hogs in a few weeks . I can't wait .

I get inconsistent C.O.A.L. with all the .264/6.5 match bullets. I've started measuring off the ogive, there just seems to be considerable variation to the match bullet nose length. I've using Hornady dies also with trimmed cases, Hornady, Lapua or PPU, same COAL variation with match bullets.

I just re-measured some fired PPU brass, not re-sized, and I'm getting ~36gr of H2O capacity. 115gr empty, and 151gr full.
I'm getting 115gr empty for 1x fired Lapua, 150.6gr full, so 35.6gr of H2O, which is pretty well-known from day 1 for case capacity.
There is no significant difference in the case capacities of my samples, and I think it's been this way from the get go with PPU brass.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
