Take your gun with the load it loves and shoots best, only change the sizing from neck to full length nothing else and see what it tells you.

[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1846884, member: 112413"] Hard to argue against, it's my theory as well, it's the biggest reason for the bullet alignment IMHO. On the accuracy with other shooter's on your gun......I have an unusually accurate 22-250 rifle. Generally mid one's to mid two's depending on how ideal days are at the range. Easy gun to shoot, heavy, very low recoil, very light trigger, I always let anyone shoot it when I'm up at the shop shooting out back on the bench. One young fellow that had little rifle experience sat down and matched my groups with two of his own. The Gunsmith that owns the shop and range has shot my gun multiple times and has a ton of shooting experience, he can also produce groups like I shoot. He loves the gun cause he is a big bore shooter primarily. I have also seen complete loss of accuracy with some that can barely shoot 1". Its always chamber formed and necksized with match prepped brass. This very long thread that took me about 2 hours to read and digest last night led me to one simple question that few poster's ever mentioned. Take your gun with the load it loves and shoots best, only change the sizing from neck to full length nothing else and see what it tells you. Same day, same load, same shooter, same gun and chamber, and identical conditions. No long arguments or spec sheets or opinions pro or con....just ask the rifle to show you what it likes the most.
