[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 893808, member: 52437"] Thanks WyoElk. I know there are other factors but if the rifle and shooter both do their jobs what size group are you looking for when it comes to trying to find your initial powder load (before you do the minor adjustments with tenth grains)? And then typically, how much will tenth grains impact a group? And finally what size group are you looking for when you adjust the bullet depth? I undertsand every bullet combo can be different here but I am just looking for a ballpark answer. For example...do you look for a 1MOA initial powder load. Then shrink it to say .75MOA with tenth grains and then finally maybe to .5 MOA with adjusting bullet depth? Obviously there is a chance one might have already had optimum load/bullet depth to start but like I said just looking for a ball park answer here. Maybe bullet depth only helps shrink a tenth of an MOA or something. Just trying to get an understanding of how much powder charge effects vs bullet depth. [/QUOTE]
