[QUOTE="sendero72, post: 452262, member: 23285"] Several years ago when Rem came out with the Accu-tip, they sent me 3 boxes of 7 mag 150 gr to test. My rifle was the Sendero. My theory for factory ammo was the inconsistent powder charge due to the speed of mass production. The Accu-tip is made by Hornady and it's the SST. I started the test by weighing all the cartridges and separating them into groups of High, Medium, and Low weights. The overall weight spread was 4 grains. Test range was 200 yds. Choosing one round from each group of the High, Med, Low produced an average of 1.5 inch group @ 200 yds. Then I began shooting rounds using only the High weighted. Groups were .760. All Med shot average .732 . All Lows average group was .810. So if a person who doesn't want the reload will just invest in a balance beam scale you may achieve the accuracy that you desire. Granted 60 rounds is not enough for hard core science but it does show a trend. It may work for you. [/QUOTE]
