[QUOTE="redleg1013, post: 1929189, member: 49994"] The ES is going to directly affect your precision at distance, meaning your group will be either better, worse, or inconsistent (worse). Getting your ES down will ensure that the harmonics of the barrel are closer to identical from shot to shot. I've had promising 100 yard groups become turds at 300+ it can be frustrating but this is part of "the fun" of hand loading. Best advice is to take two or three of your most promising and stretch their legs a bit, see what holds at 300-500 yds, and what falls apart. Remember vertical is velocity, and lateral is length as far as dialing in your load. Technique in both loading and shooting are vital to developing your best load. Personally I quit 100yds grouping and have just gone with Audette ladders at 300, then I play around to tighten them up a skosh. [/QUOTE]
