My trigger leaves something to be desired as well however I have a 30-06 carbine that seems to group sub MOA with hand loads. Not blistering fast but I posted these groups earlier this morning in this old post...

Yes this is a necro-post however adding to the knowledge base.
These are from a 7600 30-06 Carbine (18.5" barrel) that I worked up a mild load for 100 yard deer hunting. At ~2500 fps it is pretty much a hot rod 30-30. Off front rest with rear bag, Burris 2-7x with BDC reticle and Talley ring...
This has been neck sized only and...
I have more data to gather. Those were reloaded again. All those measurements ejected fine. On this fourth firing is when things didn't want to cooperate. More measurements forthcoming.
To me it is a headspace issue which is where the go/no go gauges...
Thank you for that. This helps.
The reason I believe the chamber is beyond SAAMI is I measured cases before and after. This is the third reloading for this brass (Hornady from their factory Whitetail loads). These readings are from a Redding Instant indicator. The set-up gauge is 2.0487" to...
Anyone have experience with this rifle as well as loading for it? After some loads the barrel release lever was very stubborn to release and easy after others. What would cause this please? Is this an indication the brass needs the shoulder bumped back? Loads were mild...50 gr IMR 4350 with a...
Same thoughts as well however I'm trying to reduce my individual holdings and funnel those $$ to index funds. I passed up on INTC around $26.00 for the same reason.
Thank you - I'll move ahead as is.
I've always wondered if pulling bullets just to reseat it results in less case neck concentricity. I use both a RBCS collet and a kinetic/hammer type.
Looks like I need to get a guage and find out although these are for hunting and casual target so not a...
Yes indeed! This is an old thread however I'd like to bump it as it may contribute to the knowledge base on HT for this topic without creating a new thread.
I loaded a couple of ladders for a .308 and 30-06 for load dev. Took time to size, weigh and seat to best I could - Speers in Lapua...
Might want to look into tempilaq. I've been toying with the idea my self but I only anneal by candle.
