Keep going
Take the 60.5gr load and tune with seating depth. Tuner from there until you have to adjust the seating depth again.
Is the rifle always torquing and jumping that much?
Never notised it that much before 🤷♂️
Certainly looks like the rifle is jumping in the front bag.
No, it's nothing honestly. I shot a 1.6" 5 shot group with my known load before this. I was testing some new side bags in this video so it looks worse than it is but I also understand why some people are asking about the torque.
John,
That rifle is never gonna shoot. I would carefully pack it up and ship to me.

If 60.5 is not near pressure signs I would work small charge changes from 60.1 to 61.0 looking for same or less vertical. Right or wrong that’s the direction I would look.
I would run another test from 60.2 to 60.8 at 0.1gr increments to fine tune the load.
Came here to say the same. If there’s no pressure signs, I’d load it from 60.2 in .2gr increments up to maybe 61.4 or 61.6 and see how wide the node is.
I see good data set to work with at 59. Probably a lower node than you’re chasing, though. Not a lot of vertical, but we can’t rule out wind vs wide shots. I bet it’s a good place to work from.
60.5 appears to tighten up and the data looks good, but sample is small. Try a larger test and perhaps under/over .2 gr.
Probably play with seating after that.
But I don’t know much, I’m a relatively new F-T/R guy.
Take the 60.5gr load and tune with shoulder bump.
60.5 looking good. Assuming this is not N555 ?
No it's 565
I don't think there's any question.
I would re verify 60.5 and play with seating depth by 5 thou increments
60.3 to 60.8 in .1 steps. There's magic in there somewhere.
59 to 59.8 for a fine test now
Load up 60.5 and tweak tuner on a still day at 1,000
I can’t believe how much that rifle is jumping out of the front rest. Maybe it is just the camera angle and it always does that. Could that contribute to vertical?
No, it's nothing honestly. I shot a 1.6" 5 shot group with my known load before this.
I think that it must have just been the angle thanks for replying. I love watching the content.
I would work between 59 and 59.5
Do another load starting at 60.5, 60.7, and 60.9.m Is this RL16?
Watched your video on Todd fouling his barrel. Typically how many rounds does it take to foul a barrel?
Usually about 3-5
@@FClassJohn thank you!
What powder are you using if you don’t mind me asking John? I’d load from 60.2-61.2 and do a fine powder test in .2 tenth increments and see where that window starts and ends.
This is what I would do, but I would start at 60.3 not 60.2. 60 was pretty bad.
I’d load 60.5 and call it a day.
New barrel hasn’t sped up yet…..you going to 2930-50 eventually
For context, there's 1300rds on the barrel
@@FClassJohn ha, opposite, its dying, stay at 2880....
try 61
