I mentioned in Tomme's "New Rifle" thread that I was fiddling with a die much like one made by Neil Waltz. Guy who made it is in Michigan and he made these because he was unable to get one from Neil. (Advanced age) I have just learned that these dies will be offered for sale and shipping in May 2024. But costs have gone up substantially. They are now just under 200$.
Anyhow, my results where tested using Federal Auto Match ammo. I sized 3/4 of a box. Then sorted those sized into groups within .001 of each other.
I was able to shoot this ammo under somewhat controlled conditions. Sans some wind. Thru a Anshutz 64 and a Marlin 880sq. Both guns with heavy barrels and Match chambers. Both only @ 50 yards.
Here is the BEFORE TARGETS:
Here are the AFTER:
Quite dramatic and sans that one flyer groups where 1/2ed.
More testing for sure with more and different ammo to come.
Im going to tune up my Marlin next. I have a new laminated stock coming and I will likely pillar and glass bed it into this stock.
I am also hard eye balling the Ruger Long Range Target rifle.
