[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 972574, member: 48043"] Mike hits the nail on the head with the accuracy/ precision lines... I personally won't field a bullet/ powder combo unless it's been tested on multiple days in varying field conditions. I've seen many loads go to crap with most of the better powders out there just because something isn't right for my rifle. I just had to yank down a box of 150 ablr ammo for the 7stw the other day for that reason; last fall, it was 1/2 moa ammo. Let it go until this year and it's having a hard time with 1.5 moa. Different conditions... same rifle and ammo. If I can stay sub moa in all conditions I test in, the load is good for me and I'll load a couple of hundred. That isn't to say I've run every load I have loaded on the shelf through that regimen. I won't, however, use a non/not fully- tested load on anything living. I've made the mistake of going out with a mediocre load a couple of times and no more. I've got enough rifles that I can prove the load before I field it. [/QUOTE]
