[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 665582, member: 5060"] Bart--read your last sentence that is where the comment came from. In the BR game .5 MOA will not win anything but a early trip home: "And it's a myth that cases have to be a "perfect" fit to the chamber with minimum clearance all the way around the case to the chamber for best accuracy. Best proof of this is the M14 and M1 service rifles rebuilt to shoot 7.62 NATO mass produced ammo. With their extra moving parts having to go back into battery exactly the same for each shot, they won't be as accurate as a bolt gun. But they'll shoot a good lot of commercial match ammo under 2/3 MOA at 600 yards all day long; not too shabby at all for new cases, metered charges and bullet runout up to 3 or 4 thousandths. And mil spec chambers, too, which allow for a lot of room around a loaded round. That same ammo in a bolt gun will shoot 1/2 MOA at 600 or better and that's what the benchresters get these days as that's what their rifles 'shoot. [/QUOTE]
