[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1499771, member: 104268"] I have gone back to my notes, and realize that the information I gleaned in 3 years and 2000+ rounds in 3 different barrels in my 300 WM, and the 2000 or so rounds in half a dozen other bolt rifles of different calibers over the last decade, was all fabricated by CNN and HuffPo. ([SIZE=14px]Either that, or the statement "completely false/incorrect", is completely false/incorrect, as I have several spreadsheets that indicate it is indeed true/correct for several rifles.)[/SIZE] Regardless, I change my initial position, and I highly recommend that the OP pour a few hundred rounds down his barrel in 0.010 increments till he finds the right length. To save ammo and time, I encourage you to only shoot one 3 shot group at each length, then pick the smallest and declare it a "node". (My fake news spreadsheet says this is bad statistically, so I'm sure it must actually be good) This is far better time spent than buying a 12 pack of a couple different bullets from submoashooting.com, and giving them a quick try. Whatever you do, don't practice field positions and wind doping, as this will have almost no affect on killing an elk at 1000 yds. You should spend all available resources on bench testing minute changes to your reloads... Sarcastic jerk response finished... =) [/QUOTE]
