[QUOTE="Allen Vinyard, post: 221, member: 24"] Hey Daryll, Yes, I think we may have missed one another or we may be saying the same thing only differently. On the "let's introduce ourselves thread,"I presented myself as a know nothing wannabe that was here to learn. Perhaps that in itself was unclear. It was meant to mean that I am not experienced in the longrange game but that is not to mean that I do not understand load development and experimentation with all of the associated case prep and primer sorting, 1 tenth grain differences in powder charges, seating depth, etc etc that goes with it, to develop the most accurate or powerful or whatever load I can. I have been loading for everything I shoot, pistol, rifle and shotgun for 30 years or so and have burned plenty of gunpowder trying to shave a tenth or a hundredth of an inch off of a 10 shot group. This new rifle will receive no less than that. While its been some time since I've had the opportunity to burn several hundred rounds in several rifles over a days shooting and practicing, I have done just that in the past and will do so again in the future. Certainly, I don't plan to grab up this rifle and a "box of shells" and go blasting away at an elk at 6 or 700 yard away. I'll probably burn out the barrel before that chance comes around but I will have worked extensively to develop the most accurate round I can in this new rifle and I will have practiced until I know exactly what I am capable of.
