I agree....awhile back I had two 30/06's doing EXACTLY the same bad things,and began to suspect runnout per JB's articles.

Paying attention to runnout cured them both.This led to a rash of measuring everything,plus a pair of Redding Comp dies in 30/06 and 7 Rem Mag.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Oh yea, jump was .25", yep 1/4". No telling, one just has to play.

Bumping this old thread since I consulted it when starting on a 180gr partition load for my husqvarna .30-06.

Started at 0.030” from lands. Results were ok but not great. Then I shot some old factory federal rounds with the same bullet. Slower than hell, but right at 1 MOA, which is better than I was getting. Measured a few and they were about 0.12” off the lands in my rifle. I said what the hell and loaded up a few to that length with my previous best charge…first group was 3/4”. Glad I tried those old rounds!
