[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 90230, member: 8947"] I was refering to the powder but it applies to both. When I test, it is over a wide range of temperature (I try and shoot year round). I check the scope with the ammo and rangefinder, and drop chart. I use a Leica 800 rangefinder so have a useable 900+yds. I leave the rifle out in the present conditions for a few minutes while I set up. Then with a cold barrel, I pick a smallish rock in the distance, range, dial up, dope, and shoot. My goal is to have one shot hits over a wide range of conditions. The loads using Extreme powders fall within the sub MOA accuracy I want all the way out regardless of the seasons. That is what I mean by stable. I do miss, on occasion but the shot misses left or right. The elevation is correct. Now I just focus on doping the winds (that still needs a lot of work). to simulate hunting, I use a Bull bag filled with sand on the hood of my truck. That's it. Actually, a very stable set up.
