MD: Only recently. You, and others here, convinced me that it is a variable that should be considered. But, to answer your question, the 100gr Hornady loads were not checked for runout. When the new 257 arrives, I will do that.

My question would be: If the same reloading equipment (press, dies, etc.) were used, and the same reloading techniques were used...and other bullets/loads shot well, is there a reason to believe that the runout with one bullet would be worse than the runout with another bullet? thanks for the lesson...
