Look'n good
Let me suggest, along with adding the date, you make note of the air temp and RH on your targets.
How much compression are you having to use now?

Was the other wad a 'poly' type?
I run .380-.390 comp with 2F 'E' with no issue using a .060 fiber wad.
The 'poly' type bulged my cases also.
50* huh, you must have been melting then.

The 560c Brooks sits down in the case a bit further than your PJ 530

Hi everyone thought I would fill you in on what happened last spring. The trigger has been to light from the start and could not increase it with the adjustment. Then it started catching halfway and light strikes on the primers. Brian Chilson was shooting next to me and saw I was having troubles and suggested I contact his rifle Smith Joseph Seeley only a few hrs away. Turns out he used to be the head Smith at C Sharps he wrote the milling program for there 1885 rifle . He said when my rifle was made he was back in New York making arrangements to move his shop back here . He did not do the assembly of my rifle at C Sharps. He reworked everything did a great job ! [attachment=1524]
Then work started and I never got a chance to shoot it last season. And this spring all my focus has been on a little Cabin on 5 Acer's in North East Tennessee Mountains. Our exit plan from New York in a few years. I think there's a nice range in North Georgia.[emoji846]

Good to hear you’re still on top of the grass
