Well Ben you were right. After you suggested getting a copy of the Saeco #315 as the best plain base design I ordered the 5 cavity .311 315 from NOE.
Testing has been slow because we’re having a very wet and windy spring. Did get a chance to shoot in light wind yesterday. When you said the 315 is a different animal you were right. First loads with visually inspected bullets sized to .311 with Ben’s Red and seated to feed from the magazine of my 788 were the best PB groups the rifle has ever fired.
Loaded some .Ideal 308241s for comparison. As you can see the 315 is good, very good for no load development. Thanks for the direction. Still can’t
orient photos...........
