[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 873683, member: 52437"] Ok guys, I know reloading and accuracy has LOTS of details and can almost be considered an art/science. I just started reloading for accuracy and cost savings. What I am asking here is how much does bullet weight affect accuracy? For example, I am currently reloading for my 300WSM and 3006. My goal is to get sub 1MOA loads. I know you guys strive for MUCH better accuracy than 1moa but thats all I need shooting less than 500 yards here for now :) SO, I have decided I am going to try nosler accubonds first. I was thinking about going with 165 or 180s or both for the 3006 and 300wsm. My question is, how much could the accuracy change between these bullet weights in the same bullet using similar or the same type powders? Could you work up a load say for the 180grainer get sub 1moa accuracy but then try to work up a load for 165 grains and not come close to sub 1 MOA or could you expect a similar result? I want to shoot 165s in my 3006 and 180s in my 300WSM but if accuracy can be a factor here then I wont mind trying both weights in both rifles...again My goal is simply SUB 1MOA...am i being realistic here?
