[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1588760, member: 78056"] Smokey3, I have had 2 different rifles where I tried the matching trick, which I had read about years ago but I sure couldn't duplicate their results, in fact if anything, accuracy took the proverbial basket ride! I had the velocities as close to exact as I could get but the accuracy was never even close to the same (using some of the same powders mentioned in the article, too). I'm talking about going from an inch to 2.5 or 3" which is disheartening to say the least. One was my 270 Win which, while not a benchrest gun, shoots better than most factory rifles of It's vintage. Maybe the "precision" rifle part has something to do with it? I may give this another shot with my latest rifle, an R700 with a trued action & custom barrel... but it's going to be a while before I can get around to it. Of course, I'm also dealing with a pretty small sample of just 2 rifles. Plus it could just be rotten luck... I've had a bit more than my fair share of that! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
