Cartridge: 30 Rem AR
Dies: RCBS Small base dies
Bullet: 125 Grain Nosler Bal Tip
Press: RockChucker
Powder: 37 grs Benchmark
Problem: COL ranges from 2.233 - 2.244
I have always loaded for a bolt action with Lee Collet dies so this is new territory for me.
My brass prep procedure is to clean the brass one by one with Ballistol, spray case with RCBS Case Slick, lightly lube the inside neck with a Q-Tip with case Slick, use the die, trim case, debur and chamfer case mouth, prime case, charge with powder, then seat the bullet.
The only thing different is that I moved my reloading operation inside the house and am not using my old :[beeep] for stout" bench anymore. Any idea as to what might be happening? I measured some of the bullets and they are not really consistant in length. The 100 yard groups are 1.0" for 6 shots. The 200 yard groups are 3"+. Thanks in advance for any help!
