[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 554354, member: 2736"] Most well made/crafted custom rifles will shoot well under 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with almost any ammo. The reason some are pickey is that they are designed arround one type or weight of bullet. And as we aLL know every rifle is different and likes one bullet weight and type best. It is not unusual for them to shoot under a 1/4 MOA and better with careful loading of the components. I have had rifles shoot under 1/10th of a inch during break in and end up staying there. The reason I use 100 yards is to test the rifle and establish the lowest Standard Deviation so that I can move to longer distances to find out which bullet performs best at extended ranges. The quality and consistency of a bullet realy starts to show up at the longer distance (And the ability of the shooter). I have found that the quality of the barrel has the most effect on accuracy and consistency because you can assemble two identical rifles ,one with a standard grade barrel and one with the finest made and the difference will be very noticeable even if all the other accurizing tricks have been used and are the same. Saving a few bucks on a barrel is a large gamble and not worth it in my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
