Do the Sierras work better with more jump? I know you like the 77 grain SMK. How far off the lands do you have them. I believe you also have used the 69 grain Sierra MK. What about that one? I have a 223 Axis also.Originally Posted by charlie b

In your situation, I think I'd seat the bullet so the heel is just above the neck/shoulder (to avoid donuts) and work forward towards mag length max dimensions. Then take the best of that study and work the charge. In the unlikely event that fails to produce excellent results, I'd switch to a bullet with a more forward ogive.
Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
Each barrel is different. I shoot the Berger 140 VLD-H bullets out of my 6.5 Creedmoor .010" off the lands. Shooting the same bullet out of my 6.5-06 and loading out to magazine length, the bullet is seated .140" off the lands.
Both gun's will shoot groups well under 1/2 moa when I do my part.
I setup a series of 4 , 3 shot groups. The first was .070 the second was .090 the third was .110 fourth was .130. the groups in .110 were improving and the .130 was better yet. So I did 4 .120 and 4 .140 jumps. The .140 is my new load it shoots a lot better. I reseated all of my already loaded and will start trying different powder chgs.
Good Lord, when I saw that I first thought it was MOA instead of bullet jump. I am trying to get better but I would never get that good.
