[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 3079132, member: 1951"] It really works like this. If you want to buy some stuff, do numerous load developments with things that don’t work, shoot 1,2,3,5 shot groups, not count flyers, miss when there is no wind to blame, ……please ignore their results. Using traditional load development, I have occasionally got repeatable loads that worked. More often, I got decent loads that shot 25 times produced some flyers I ignored. Using what I believe is the “your groups are too small” method, I shot 25 shots into 0.75”. 4 of 5 5 shot groups were under 0.5”. Most 3 shot groups were under 0.2”. This is a hunting rifle. That load doesn’t fall apart, except at temperature….the load is still good, but pressure was not. I’ll be interested when I drop a percent, if it still groups!!! You can blame Hornady that statistics shot through test barrels don’t match your belief, but where are your 200 shot groups? As a side note, I’m ****ed at Hornady not building there composite group statistics into their app. I think they also need to dive deeper into statistics to determine what the ideal sample size is. They focus on 20-40, but what is a good place for us folks that don’t buy barrels by the 6 pack and chamber 6+ at a single time! [/QUOTE]
