Electronic scales and digital calipers are nice as a second check, but I feel a lot more at ease using the manual ones... MHO

Sounds to me like a scope problem... Also remember your scope adjustment at 50 yds is 1/8" per click and 1/4" at 100 yds... "a couple of clicks" will move it very little..

oldfox: All decent advice above, but as to the 'why not carry reloads for the street' question, here is an answer you may want to consider. I've got a background in LE, and have seen what can happen in a court of law in regard to a self-defense shooting in that the prosecutor, if known that you're ...

May I ask why you would not carry reloads? I have never had a misfire after 1000's of rounds. To me factory ammo, being mass produced, would have more of a chance to fail then carefully reloaded ammo. MHO..

Sad to see an icon company like Winchester producing inferior quality reloading components. I have purchased 100 30-06 brass, and so far these appear ok after 2 firings

Sounds to me like a bad extractor... check with a local gunsmith. Should not be a difficult job to replace..

That brings back a lot of fond memories of duck hunting on Merrymeeting Bay up here in Maine in the early 1960's. We had some good times and back then some great hunting! Nice job skipper!

When you measure case overall length (COAL) do you measure from base to tip or do you use a comparator that measures closer from the base to the ogive? Your seating die operates by pushing on the ogive so there may be some variance. That variance will show up if you measure from base to tip. Get a ...

Is there an accurate method on seating bullets to a consistent C.O.A.L. ? It seems that no matter what caliber I load, when I check them with dial calipers, there always seems to be a few thousandths difference in the COAL.. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

A fine looking weapon you have there huntsman... As usual a nice paint addition!

Thanks Skipper for the challenge. It was a lot of fun. Looking forward for next year...
