[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2072065, member: 26227"] BigEclipse, if you neck turn the pressures will stay approximately the same, the loads will be more consistent, groups will shrink, if you uniform the brass more than the groups will shrink more. Ie: uniform the primer pockets, uniform and center the flash hole, and group the brass by 1 grain weight groups, and uniform the lengths. then your groups will shrink to the best the gun and ammo will allow. you will basically doing your best to be as acurate with your hunting loads as possible. after that you will be much more confident with longer shots. this is my advice for you. I know when I did all this with my hunting loads; my ear to ear smile could not be wiped off my face for months. I took my first elk at 600 yards and put the round within 1" of where I aimed on the high neck and dropped him in his tracks. after that I worked up an even more accurate load and was shooting a 150 -160 grain 0.277" slug over 800 yards and hitting a 5" target. It was totally worth the time and effort to make that rifle shoot that well. [/QUOTE]
