[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1263046, member: 1521"] Keep in mind that higher tension/grip means higher variance of it. I'd go with a faster powder before a crimping bullet grip. Barring problems, a bolt action should break MOA from the git-go. For 1/2moa and better, starting from scratch, it takes me ~250 shots including seating testing during fire forming of 50 cases, a ladder test, incremental load development at ladder potential, and final seating tweak to define window and center. This gets me to precision that is hopefully good enough. If not, I'll have to identify the reason, and likely go back to ladder testing after resolution. For accuracy, I then roll into cold bore load development and ballistic validations, which takes a good while. This is where cut rifled barrels pay off, and all my future barrels will be melonite treated. [/QUOTE]
