[QUOTE="1SevenZero, post: 812933, member: 51825"] I second the book - Handloading for Competition (Making the target bigger). It has a wealth of information on making accurate ammo. That said I'll tell you what I do. .308 Win FL size Uniform Primer Pocket (.001 tolerance) Debur Flash Hole Trim the Case to spec. (.001 tolerance) Chamfer the case (just enough it doesn't scrape bullet jacket & debur outside) Use powder not sensitive to extreme temp. Changes (tolerance a tenth of a grain) Seat so my bullet jump is .015 (tolerance .001) *fits in the magazine* I use CCI LR primers. I'm not convinced benchrest/match primers are necessary. Pick a proven hunting bullet with a high ballistic coefficient. Most things I've read recommend using the heaviest bullet your barrels twist rate will stabilize (which is the philosophy I follow). The rifle is a bedded Savage action, B&C Medalist stock with a Shilen match grade barrel w/ varmint contour. Doing all of the above I average .5 MOA. [/QUOTE]
