I am un-watching as well. I think the OP's needs have met and have no desire to partake in drama. Good luck to all.
Maybe this is true in benchrest? It's certainly NOT true in F-Class, nor is it true in the field. If you have a load developed that sits in an actual node, .1 grain either way will have no measurable effect on muzzle velocity average, ES, or SD. It isn't difficult to manage vertical dispersion while measuring to the nearest .1 grain. I have NEVER been kept from the X or 10 ring @ 1000 by vertical dispersion. Wind? Different story. What separates the men from the boys @ 1000 is wind doping, not time at the loading bench.
This.....anyone who's run a ladder test @ 400+yds knows that several loads can vary +/- .5 and still maintain the same vertical….that's the sweet spot, OBT, node or whatever you want to call it.
Where it gets crazy is when you have 3 at basically the same vertical with .3 grain difference between each.
The name of the site is " Len Backus' Long Range Hunting Magazine"
says so right at the top of the page.
The web address is longrangehunting.com
This is the reloading thread.
You can post all the winning you want not too many people here care after your 500+ posts in 8 months of misinformation and arguing EVERY thread into the ground!

pure bs for 1000 yds plus precision, steel maybe, hunting maybe.
short range be my guest
the op said 1000 yards
i think i have been very clear on long range precision loading.
you are correct the site is hunting,
BUT
the first two FORUMS clearly say and SHOOTING.
THE OP CLEARLY SAID 1000 YARDS
SO MY long range info applies .
Then post up your 5x5s and trophys champ. Tired of your mouth.pure bs for 1000 yds plus precision, steel maybe, hunting maybe.

I'm guessing you have a much more stringent definition of precision. Maybe I shouldn't have used that word. I'm not after 1" groups at 1000 or whatever you're idea of precision at that range is. If I can smack a deer -sized kill zone at that range, I'm happy.
Guys, I really appreciate all the advice, info, guidance, etc. I've been taking notes and just trying to piece it all together. I'm going to start looking for some used stuff and start putting together a setup. I will also pickup a couple reloading guides and reading thru them as well to further understand the whole process. I think this will be a lot of fun and will allow me to shoot a bit more often.
Thanks everyone!
