[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2117705, member: 101859"] By tuning I do mean load development and related things. Guys get way too caught up in the tech side of shooting. Es is a good example. When I talk about BR records Im talking agg records. Thats the average off all the targets shot over the whole year. It is THE highest standard for measuring consistent accuracy at 1000yds. Those guys that are shooting those aggs have their stuff figured out. And the loading process is very simple. The right tune is 90% of it. Again by tune I mean, the right powder and change, the right bullet and seating depth, the right primer, the right neck tension. It all must be tested. I am very confident to say, if your rifle is not grouping as well as you want it to, your feeding it the wrong load. It should go without saying that I am talking about well built rifles, and quality components. A typical procedure many of us use looks like this. Run fired case into a fl bushing die, no cleaning at all. Clean primer pocket, seat new primer by feel brush the neck id with a nylon brush dump powder (weighed to the kernal, this matters) seat bullet with wilson die I don't sort brass or bullets. You dont have to complicate it any more that that. Now, if through testing you find annealing shoots smaller groups with your particular load combo, do it. Some guys use mandrels to set neck tension, some use some type of lube in the neck, ext. All of those things can and do work for some guys. The simple procedure above has accounted for some of the smallest groups and aggs ever fired. [/QUOTE]
