How much is inconsistent? I wouldn't think 0.06 would make that much difference. If the cases are unequal in length by that much, I guess it's possible but doesn't seem very probable.

I read the whole thread but must have missed your load. If the case fill is short would be more suspicious of case fill than case length causing inconsistent velocities.

Having said that, it IS definitely a lovely rifle!! Congrats on the buck as well!

I'll also second everything that has been said about cast bullets.
