[QUOTE="Brent, post: 25811, member: 99"] I wondered about the RL27 he listed, thought it was a misprint though. Interesting. S1, do you heat treat the Newlons when your done, send them back to Troy for him to do it or just use them as is? I plan on getting one for a neck sizer, so it wouldn't need to have any treating done and the chamber reamer will work for this neck sizing only situation. Guys with winning scores are not necessarily shooting the tightest grouping guns, they are the winners in that game and are shooting the best to win in that game. The guy that shoots a 3" group and can't keep them all in the 10 ring will loose! The guy that shoots a 6" group and keeps them all in the 10 ring will win. Who has the most accurate rifle? Who is the best doper? Who is the smartest 1000 yard player? Another way to view the group size, if it's a larger one, is that the wind took a bullet way out and a 3" group that now went to a 6" group with one bad wind call. The correction to keep the score high was made and all subsequent shots were held to the opposite side just in case. The "X" count may be smaller but the score will stay higher avoiding the 9 ring. The group shooter may be inclined to take his chances, where the score shooter knows better. I'm not a cometition shooter, but have learned a few ways these savy score shooters beat the not so savy. Unless you know the circumstances each group was shot and corrected for, the data is pretty subjective as far as group size goes, at least there is that big possibility other thing were at play. The shear number of shooters using a certain cartridge will skew the averages too. Averages are often inconclusive in a large lot or a small lot either way. I noticed that the percentage of people dropping the 30 cal and others combined was nearly the same amount the 6.5mm actually picked up in percentage, that would indicate a shift to 6.5 at least. Is it just a fad, who knows yet, the grass is always greener on the other side for many. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
