[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 766318, member: 29392"] Before I junk my 9 1/8 twist Remington barrel and my old Tasco 10X40X50 w/1/8th inch target dot scope with adjustable turrets let me ask a few basic questions. I hand load. Don't know a lot about it but feel like I do a better than average job. I have not hunted with a store bought rifle bullet for over 30 years and have not competed in Bulls Eye or Combat matches with factory ammo for 17 years. My "goodest" rifle is a 700 VLS 243 Winchester. I've had it about 6 years and we've done well with the 2/day deer limit here in NW FL. Anyway,with once fired, full length resized brass, trimmed and primer pockets cleaned up I cn consistantl group in the .3xx's and I've had quite a few .2XX's with my best 3 shot group of .211. The afore mentioned groupings were with Hornady 105 AMAX bullets. I can get also get Sierra 100 BTSP's and Speer 85 BTSP's to do almost as good. Two years back I shot a .527" group at 305 yards with the 105's. (pictures below) Should I leave well enough alone except for the scope? For a once or twice a month shooter would the groups be worth the green? tks, Beezle [/QUOTE]
