    Greetings Superdriver, Sounds as though you have a long throat. Mine has and shoots flat base projectiles better than boat tails, from sub Moa to Moa plus. The point of impact does seem to move...

    Greetings Planenutz, It's not pressure that is cracking the cases, it's excess headspace. Assuming you are starting with new brass, or cases fired once in your rifle, the cases are being full length...
