Can someone help me with my loading? I have attached a picture of the groups that I shot today. All groups were 5 round groups and shot at 100 yards.
123gr Scenar, 2.265 COAL
CCI 450
Lapua brass
2 thou of neck tension
I loaded them all with Redding dies, and the runout is less than .003 with the average around .0015" The groups on the bottom that were shot with AA2520 I think that I seated them a little deeper at 2.261 or so. Should I seat a bit deeper at 2.257 or so and try that out? In any case the AA2520 seems to be a bit more consistant. My barrel is a 20 inch Kriger chambered in .264LBC. I'm pretty sure that it's not me just shooting crummy today, as all my other loads with 748 have shot similarly. With my .308 and handloads I'm shooting significantly smaller groups, so I don't think that my loading is the weak link either. Thoughts?
