change in POI with bushing dies

cw308 · August 7, 2014, 08:15 AM

Will be reloading with bushing die for the first time, with less bullet grip, what effect will it have on POI? In developing an accurate load, changes can make a big differance one way or the other. With a change in grip, is it like starting all over.

Your POI may well change because a given load's velocity will usually be a little slower with less grip on the bullet and it'll leave at a slightly different angle in the muzzle axis. Probably not more than 1/4" at 100 yards.

I'd think it would be no different then any other load development . Your POI or at least mine moves around as I change things . I agree with Bart , It's not going to be much . You should still be on target but a little off one way or another .

I agreee with the rest. I did my 6BR and at 300 yards I dropped about 3/4 inch and maybe a half inch to the right.
