[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1130118, member: 39764"] Phil.... What works for me is those 3 x 5 'Post It Notes' with the sticky edge on the backside and Frankfort Arsenal ammo boxes (flip top type) for every caliber,,, I use 308 boxes, sometimes the rounds fit, sometimes they go in upside down, but they go ...:D That way I can access the previous loads and compare jumps, propellant load, basically everything from one session to the next and everything is attached to the inside lid of the respective ammo box. I actually leave all the notes inside a small plastic zip bag that stays with the rifle so I have everything 'at hand' all the time. I've also found (from trial and error) that there are no shortcuts to achieving accuracy and consistency. Everything from the initial case prep to the actual sizing and bumping of the shoulders to the seating and neck tension to the concentricity of the pill in the case neck, all impact grouping and accuracy and especially consistency.... From my hands on experience, being consistent and meticulous in the way you load and adhering to your (Berger) regimen, yields the best performance and best groups. I built loads for 3 rifles this summer, 2 custom builds and one off the shelf and all are shooting sub moa at 200 yards very consistently,,, and none of the 3 rifles jump even close to each other (something I would have never found out without using the Berger regimen)... Heck, I'd still be fiddling around with less that desireable results. IMO, chambers are like fingerprints, no 2 are the same. [/QUOTE]
