How much velocity spread is normal ?

[Cornholio]

After reading the other thread, maybe it could have something to do with your shooting cadence and residual heat left in the chamber.

I've solved part of the problem. One thing I did, or didn't do, was when I made my brass from .221's, I used a tapered die to 7mm, then the .30 cal. From there I loaded them. I didn't run them through a full re-sizer die ( I'm now to non-cowboy reloading ). I loaded up six this am, and had better result. 986, 932, 957, 962, 913, 918
Is that an acceptable spread ?

Thanks
