[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1501667, member: 1521"] For me a gun will shoot 1/2moa or better to 300yds -unless there is a problem with the shooting system, cartridge, or load. And load development itself is not slinging out random abstracts and settling on something like 1.5moa, because the gun is expected to do better no matter what, but hasn't yet. Hell I can make a true 1/4moa gun open to +1moa & back with Berger's full seating test. If I do this test while fire forming cases, and then run a powder ladder, then tweak best seating in it's window to shape grouping, I'll be close to 1/2moa grouping. Repeating for best bullet/primer/primer striking/tension will likely scoot me in solid 1/2moa grouping, and well under 1/2moa of accuracy. Further testing dials me even tighter, and with that being cold bore accuracy. Overall, this just takes a lot of effort. Add a poor build and cheap components and bad cartridge & bullet & powder choices, and expectations need to open with that. I just don't ever put myself in those places. [/QUOTE]
