I struggled to get a good round made in my Browning A-Bolt in a 300 WSM. I tried 6 different bullets, then 6 different powders. I was discourged all the time. Rifle range is 1 hour drive and I can only go on the weekends. So it was a long time in developing. I read in the bullet books about the COAL and did all that was printed. Powder lite powder heavy all the stuff written. Finally I goofed some bullets in making and jammed them in the rifling. Too long, hard time closing the bolt. Mind you I'm not new to reloading, 40 + years of this. Finally I realized the length of bullet was making a difference. I played with that and the fog lifted suddenly the jump did make a difference. Boy I felt dumb. Now I test all reloading COAL in the bullets and twik them all.
