Runout has my attention as of late. That's the one constant with the BR gang and they spend major dollars on dies.

The shorter COAL worked in my 260. Like .084 off the lands. Could runout be thwarted with a jump?



Maybe its one of those things where you just shut up and shoot when things start looking right.


BR shooters load to lands because they are not interested in maximum hunting loads, just accuracy.
If you load to lands and you rifle shoots well, you need to confirm your magazine can house and feed at that length. Many won't.


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
