Ive got about 150 rounds down the 24" bull pipe now and while I've shot a few good 5 shot groups I can't seem to get repeatability. Just curious what bullets you guys have had luck with on a 10 twist. I put in an email to White Oak but haven't heard anything yet. The only thing that has shown any consistency so far has been 35 bergers and benchmark. Im seating the 35's at 2.210" which puts the ogive the same spot as 39's at 2.260". That puts bullet about .135" into the case. Cleaning every 25 or so with wipe out. .226" bushing with expander ball gets me .0025" neck tension. I don't think oal is changing while the round is chambering. I did have one get caught on the feed ramp and get shoved clean into the case. 39's show little vertical spread over a wide range of powder charge but random 1.5" horizontal spread.
The only critters I shoot with a rifle are coyotes so I don't really need to be shooting bullets for small vermin.
