[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 746244, member: 41442"] you might get away with that in a custom barreled gun or a factory rifle if 1.5 inch 100 yard groups are your goal but most factory rifles are pretty picky about what it takes to make them moa. If you REALLY WANT to know what shoots the absolute best in your gun the ONLY way your going to find out is to shoot it. Your not going to find it with one bullet and your sure not going to find it by asking what someone elses gun on the internet shoots well. you might get some good starting advice as to which bullets or powders to try. That advice will help most inexperienced loaders get a start but most here allready know the basics and know what MIGHT shoot well in a certain caliber. Ive been handloading for 40 years. In that time ive owned and loaded for AT LEAST 50 bolt action and single shot rilfes. Probably close to twice that. Ive NEVER saw a gun that did its absolute best with the first bullet and powder combo ive tried in it. Your one lucky sob if it happened to you and if your claiming it happened more then once your either blessed by God or just another internet expert. Sure would be nice though to be so intellegent that when i bought a new gun I knew what it would shoot. It would sure make those 2 or 3 hundred boxes of bullets on the shelf seem silly and the cabinet full of differnt powders. [/QUOTE]
