[QUOTE="Dgutter, post: 492623, member: 32130"] So I've been following this thread intently in hopes to find some new points of view to help shape my own and to generally become educated by people more knowledgable than myself. However, I think through the whole process of what happens from the time the trigger is pulled til the bullet leaves the barrel and all that could affect its accuracy and I'm curious about a couple points in there that nobody has spoke of. 1. Whether or not the neck, shoulder or bullet is centered in the bore....how bout the case head itself. I don't think I have found a shell yet where the primer was struck dead nuts center. Which leads me to conclude the case head is not being held on center with the bore. That gives me reason to believe that if the bullet is centered in the bore but the case head is off....the bullet is actually crooked. ????? Any thoughts? Does my bolt head need work or firing pin off center??? 2. How about whether or not the bullet is against the lands or has a jump? If it has a jump and the extractor holds the case to one side of the chamber then does that mean the bullet is going to be crooked as it enters the lands? And if its jammed against the lands should the bullet "self-center" itself aside from what was mentioned above in #1? Any thoughts on this as well??? [/QUOTE]
