Did you have all the same head stamp brass, i.e., all the exact same? FL sized brass and powder charge accurate to within .1 grains?

A good discussion that brings to mind the thought of all those who never realized what a great rifle they had until after they had sold and replaced it with something else.

Yes, I tried both Remington and Hornady brass, both FL and neck sized after being fired in the rifle. I use an RCBS Chargemaster 1500 and periodically verify against another scale. I use this same setup for all of my reloading so I don't think that's the problem.

My current favorite and most forgiving rifle I hunt with 90% time is a frankenbuild AR in 6.5 grendel. Shoots sub MOA with everything I’ve put in it. My least favorite and sold off was a Ruger M77 7mm mag. Kicked like a mule and wouldn’t shoot anything MOA. FWIW I have a Remington 700 7mm mag I love shooting when not hunting with the 6.5G...
