well it was a lot nicer today at 28deg...compared to 17degs it was like a heat wave...while the neck tension issue isnt full resolved it did shoot pretty good...i did a little test at 850yds...the 3 shots at the bottom of the target are with cases that the bullets seated fairly nice the other 3 high and to the left are 3 with the cases that the bullets kinda popped in at the beginning then kinda slid in after....
i shot 5 rounds over the chrony with 45.6g RL-17 at 28deg...
1...2965
2...2952
3...2955
4...2950
5...2952...not bad ESs for RL-17 and i think when i get the neck tension straightened out and maybe a seating adjustment this will be a real nice load...ill run it back up close to 3000fps next weekend and see how it shoots as i should have the new die by then.
