[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 515675, member: 2736"] Just another thought/opinion. When you build a rifle around a particular bullet you run the risk of the barrel/rifle not liking it and then what do you do. I have seen this happen with special twist,throats,neck diameters and free bore all designed for "ONE" bullet. This practice is very risky in my opinion because you can end up with a good shooting rifle or a turd that cant be made to shoot with any bullet. I know there are others that will disagree and that's fine , if they are willing to risk spending all that money, that is there choice. If a rifle is assembled correctly and has a quality barrel with the right twist for bullet weights to be used It should shoot well below 1/2 MOA. Using conventional methods and twist rates, I have had many rifles shoot well under 1/4 MOA and some under 1/10 MOA (These are Hunting rifles not bench rest). Just something to consider.
