[QUOTE="wasskeet, post: 2514905, member: 117080"] Just depends on the circumstances. Case in point - last year I had bought a custom rifle second-hand. It would not shoot better than 1-1/2" with load data that came with it. I contacted the maker and got their load data - as you can imagine I had neither bullets or powder it required. A good gent here offered to sell me a few pounds of powder at a good price if I could meet him to get it. About 3 hour drive one-way. We met and made the exchange. I got home and loaded some according to the maker's load data - Presto! instantly groups were in the .3s'. All said - fuel, time & powder - I probably would up with $75 per pound in it. For the difference in how the rifle shot - I'd gladly do/pay it again. [/QUOTE]
