[QUOTE="esshup, post: 607679, member: 11101"] Mickcr, I thought about my answer and it may have been a bit harsh. If I'm not building my own bullets, I don't have any control over the consistency of the ogive radius or the base angle. What else can I do to ensure the most consistent reloads? I thought I purchased bullets that the 7mm shooters here have had good results with. If their results haven't been good, then why are the Wildcat bullets known for being the best ones for that chambering and distance (7mm AM and 1K+), provided that they are available? Of the items that you mentioned, what would have the [B]most[/B] influence on group size at 1K and beyond? Would that have more influence than bearing surface or less? Can you tell me where a person can buy measuring equipment that is cost effective for measuring the ogive and base angle when only loading 1,000 or so rounds? I'm not a benchrest shooter, nor have I been in the long range game for very long. I'm trying to learn as fast as I can so I can shoot to the best of my ability. I figure that if I use the best components, assemble consistent ammo, have good quality equipment, then the rest is solely upon my shoulders to do the best job that I can do. [/QUOTE]
