[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1502193, member: 77441"] SD below 10 and consistently shooting sub MOA groups at 300 yds. There is really very little that you can do to improve on that. You are ready to go to 700 yards. Best to spend the extra time practicing as opposed to chasing small variables in the reloading operation. Holes in the paper don't lie and it sounds like are already stacking them. To hit targets at longer ranges, your ability to read wind and read the relevant factors in the shot will pay bigger dividends than banging your head against the wall trying to measure the bullets/case.
