Hey Guys -
I have tuned up several rounds for my .308. The problem is I inevitably end up with a really tight group (4 shot group 1/4 MOA) but get one flyer that takes my group out to about an inch. Now I suppose it could be me, but it's very consistent to have one flyer out of every shot group. I am thinking the cause of the problem could be neck tension?
Common denominators I've check out and addressed: all flash holes are deburred, All cases are same make and model w/ same amount of firinings, all cases are the same length, primers were the same, powder was measured exactly the same (charge-master scale), bullets are the same weight (by scale), and COL is identical. Barrel is fouled with a few sighters before load testing begins.
Any thoughts? If it is neck tension, how do you guys try and get the most consistent amount of neck tension while working the brass?
