[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1190746, member: 83267"] SD is standard deviation measured with a chronograph it's more or less a measurement of how consistant your ammunitions muzzle vilosity is, if you have large swings in your shot to shot consistancy that's no big deal at 100 yards, but a 100fps diffrence from one shot to the next at 1000 yards is around 30" of vertical spread that's a big deal. For the cleaning I suggest getting the bore guide for sure and watching YouTube videos buy reputable people on cleaning so when you do clean it you do no harm to your bore. The bench rest guys clean fanatically but for shooting long range I suggest a fouled barrel that has repeatable accuracy from shot to shot without the need to fire fouler shots after cleaning is better for most people. As a side note my feeling is more barrels have been ruined by improper cleaning than by shooting. One more thing is to think of a rifle as a women your going to have to learn what it likes, what doesn't like and then there's still a lot of head scratching thinking to yourself ***. [/QUOTE]
