I headspaced a barrel a little shorter than saami, and neglected to trim the case necks by an equal amount. Recently I've had a load test where groups of 5 were shot, and while most grouped between .25 and .5 moa, they were missing a shot. The bullet missed the target completely... On one of the groups, accuracy was more like 5 moa and one of them keyholed. On that group there were some necks that were damaged (dented) after extraction.
Can case length affect bullet stability? I'm certain they were too long, and possibly jamming into the leade. Maybe it crimped the bullet and caused damage?
Picture of the target is in this thread.
