Prairie Dog Match 3

I agree with C Ward. Mixed brass is bad juju. I would try to at least stick with the same brand. I never had velocity swings with Varget. H4350 seems pretty damn good as well.

I've got a metric shit ton of used Winchester brass in 308 if you need some 100 or so.

Damn.... I gotta sort through all that brass

hmmm... mixed brass.....

For the purposes of the PD match (local and not THAT long of distances), how much does the friction created by the case hold on the bullet come in to play?

I've had similar issues with powders that were supposed to be temperature insensitive. I think I traced the problem back to allowing a loaded round to sit in a hot chamber. On a string at a PD match, the first half or so would shoot normally, then I'd start getting a sticky bolt. I quit clambering a round as my first step to getting ready and now save it till last. I don't chamber now until the shooter in front of me gets their beep.

I didn't mention, but i did notice I was getting some of this too. I was just thinking that "Long leg" needed some cleaning

I'm wondering the same... but as what we'll always hear. Precision shooting consist of being consistent, right?

Inside of 500 you can get away of a lot . The problem with mixed cases is more about capacity than neck tension .

If you can find some BR2's they have always been the magic primer with Varget in 308 for me .
