[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 903790, member: 999"] For quite a few years I made custom .30 caliber bullets for Service Rifle competition and the Bench Rest game which was basically 1000 yard competition. On occasion I would take and make up 100 bullets and I would vary the base to ogive length by several 1000ths of an inch and the weight by as much as 5 grains. I would shoot these through a proven accurate .308 Winchester with bull barrel with a 20X Unertl scope in groups of ten shots from 300 yards on a good and quiet day...meaning not much wind. Invariably the ten shot groups would be a 'tight knot' measuring 2.0" or slightly over....all would be less than X ring size on the NRA HP target which was 3.0". It was my conclusion that in the final analysis concerning accuracy....MORE IMPORTANTLY was the quality of the case being used and what had been done to IT.....rather than the quality of the bullets utilized!!
