[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1304339, member: 2736"] Believe it or not I totally agree that something's are hard to measure and If you take the time to weight bullets, you should take the time to measure, uniform. weigh and leave no stone unturned. In many cases a target will not show much or any improvement so other ways of measuring or logging the difference and recording the improvement or the digression. The process is tedious and time consuming, but If I can show an improvement of a standard deviation of .02 or .03 I will and I consider it a win. As a gun maker, I feel The only way to really find out/prove a rifles true worth and accuracy potential is to do everything possible to the complete system which includes a rifle system that is as near perfect as possible, the best most consistent ammunition possible. And skill of the shooter to know when he did his part and when he didn't. There is no one thing that can make a real performer, it takes everything combined to make it a winner. If I were to make a list of everything I do from start to finish for accuracy (I will work on such a list) I would have at least 30 or 40 steps that I would take for an accuracy rifle. And some would add to that list. For the average hunter such a list would be boring and would not apply to his needs. My mentor was an accomplished Bench rest shooter and builder and He did things, that most would not do or even consider. But his accuracy performance was scary. Most hunting rifles don't have the same potential as a bench rifle. but the principles still apply and can improve there accuracy. I have been shooting and hunting for over 60 years and I still learn something that will improve the accuracy of my rifles and reloads every day (At my age I need all the help I can get) and with all of the new tools that are available today to measure and true all components, It only takes the effort and will to improve your skills. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
