[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2280540, member: 65338"] You can read for days on how accurate the standard 300 Norma and NMI are as well as the other rounds so long as you are using quality brass from Lapua or ADG. I know a lot of people who have tested many bullets. Berger is the consensus for the best accuracy. No matter how hard any of us tried using Sierra or Hornady bullets, Berger always ended up edging out the competition for overall accuracy. As far as “keeping” it shooting accurately, that boils down to the powder you are using and your ability analyze nodes in ladder testing and to keep a rifle in tune. If you’re shooting an accurate load that has a very tight node window then it will be tougher to maintain accuracy as the lands retreats from wear. If you tune the load into a good wide node then life is a lot easier. Quality powders like H1000 and N570 also make life easier to maintain accuracy because they are very good at staying consistent across a wide variation of temperatures and weather conditions. Is the NMI as easy to shoot and tune as a 6PPC or 6BR? No, and no large magnum will ever be that easy to shoot. But as far as big magnums go, the NMI is very accurate and forgiving with powders like H1000 and N570 [/QUOTE]
