[QUOTE="Whitesheep, post: 1405234, member: 26409"] Yes, nice thread. If this was a 1000 yard conversation I would not comment as there are others much more knowledgeable than me. However 200 yards is not that far and this is my experience for what it is worth. #1 the nut behind the gun. Mentioned a couple of times, but a coach, even if video, is a help. A "retired" Marine Marksman has helped me a bunch, especially the physci stuff. #2 a similar experience with an FNAR in .308 I think may help. Yeah, I know this is a semi auto, but it is basically a tacticalized browning and actually bolt action accurate. With the FNAR my problem was exactly the same, at the same distance. The solution was seating depth, powder choice and bullet selection. Long story, but it is now an MOA simi auto. I've chased the accuracy rabbit down the hole many times and in this case a simple back up to basic seating depth and powder/bullet weight choice made the difference. As for concentricity, the start of this thread, I have a Hornady "correction" gauge and find that in a 50 round batch from the same die set up there are a few "flyers." However, after reading Bran Litz's book "Applied Balistics for Long Range Shooting" third edition, I am not sure minor concentricity errors are really that important. Most boat tailed high BC bullets stabilize quickly even if not concentric. I highly recommend Brian's book regardless what you think of Berger. Good luck on your chase and thanks for bringing me along. [/QUOTE]
