[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2814554, member: 12443"] Well by and large the very serious benchresters are a bit of a different breed in their thought process. First and foremost their goal is to win, not just be an also ran. And today the competition is such due to better guns etc etc that they are looking for anything that might give them even a small crumb of an advantage. Also realize that the heavy gun division 1000 yard record hasent changed ownership in well over a decade. And that record is only ( in laymans terms ), about one inch smaller than a record set in 1986 by an old friend of mine who did it with a 30x378 with a Unertle scope and used Sierra bullets in un annealed Wetherby cases loaded with standard dies in a Rockchucker press. Try to find somebody today using Sierra bullets in a match. And try to find somebody who isnt anealing cases. Now the fact also is that Earl, ( the old friend ), had a very nice camp that never had any deer hanging at it. Again his mind worked a bit differently than those who were killing bucks at long range. If you want to be successful at pretty much anything, find someone who is, and then mimic what they do. Certainly an accurate rifle is of primary importance, as is carefully loaded and accurate ammo for long range hunting. But so is the method you use for shooting it. And so is keeping lead in the air till its over. [/QUOTE]
