[QUOTE="liltank, post: 305637, member: 13275"] So when determining the OA group size for a long range hunting capability... what measurement do you consider for your load development? Example: I shot a group that measured 1.041 out side to out side, but if you subtract .308 for bullet size that leaves a group of .733 center to center. Also, I have been getting a lot of groups with two cutting the same whole and flier of 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch from the two touching. Should I consider these loads as good because it is possibly me, or do I dump the load and try something else? For development I generally shoot 3 shot groups unless I find something I really like and then move to a 5 shot group. Trying to conserve on powder and bullets. Just as a back up to my abilities, I have cut 5 shot groups in the .25 MOA range and can consistently hold .75 MOA or less. Can a loose primer pocket in a load batch of brass with tight primer pockets be my fliers? What I mean by loose, is they go in real easy, but don't fall out even when tapped on something hard. Well hope this is enough info for an assessment of my situation. Thanks in advance, Tank [/QUOTE]
