[QUOTE="kolob10, post: 1686310, member: 27227"] I am convinced that given a good barrel, maximum accuracy is a product of barrel harmonics. That can be accomplished by powder, powder charge, projectile, primer, stock bedding, or seating depth. Sometime all the above is needed or sometime minor tweaking of one or two of the above. I have a Remington 700 300wm that seems to shoot just about anything well without much load development. I have a Remington 788 .223 Rem. That is particular to a certain powder and charge but is not sensitive to a wide range of seating depth, primer, or match bullets. I once sat at a bench rest match and watched an old guy fill his case with powder, shake off the excess and seat his bullet. I inquired as to why when some shooters were more anal concerning powder charge. He said with this rifle, powder charge was not important (within reason). He shot with the winner that day. Maybe if I could still shoot in the 2's or .3's I would be more precise with my loads. If it shoots .5 " I am satisfied. I do not shoot game at 1000 yards so .5 is my goal at my age. Good shooting [/QUOTE]
