[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1312591, member: 4191"] I don't argue with your position. It's a hobby. I have bolt actions rifles for long range hunting. I'm learning thru direct experience. I'm content with the precision of bullet POIs on target. I then continued to put in a lot of effort to improve precision with respect to ES/SD. Eventually accepted the fact it most likely wasn't going to improve. The one bullet I see lower ES/SD with is the cannelured Nosler Bonded Solid Base. I crimp into the cannelure, and perhaps that helps maintain more uniform chamber pressures??? A possibility... My AR is well suited for what I purchased it for. I don't shoot or hunt past 300 yards, or compete with this rifle. I have shot it at 600yds, but just for kicks. It's scoped with a 1-4X variable. Not enough magnification for good crosshair placement past 200yds. I typically chronograph and shoot targets at 280yds. Due to the low scope magnification, I purchase and place one of the 6" diameter blaze orange circular targets on a much larger piece of white backing material. I then do my best to center the reticle within the 6" blaze orange circle. Works pretty good. I've obtained some 1 1/2"groups at 280yds, so I must be getting a reasonably consistent hold on the center of target at that range. [/QUOTE]
