[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 285193, member: 4885"] Kirby, We've discussed this so much in the other threads, I almost didn't post to this thread. With the experience I've had with the rifle you built for me, I'll bet that it would be a challenge to create 1moa+ loads for your creations. Good rifles shoot about everything well. The rifles I use for hunting have all shot well under 1/2 MOA and hold 3/4moa or better ALL the time. I have a couple rifles that I tinker with, but once I find a load with my 'serious' rifles, I try to save their barrels. I'd say it takes me 30-50 rounds on average to find a killer load for a quality rifle. Certainly, the better the rifle, the easier it is to get a load to shoot. Even with the best rifles, some tinkering can improve things. The 338AM you built me has shot anything I fed it into 3/4moa or better, a little seating depth tweeking and it's [B][U]easily[/U][/B] [B][U]under [/U][/B]1/2moa. I like the ladder method shot over a chrono, then select a node, load it up and tweek the seating depth. It's worked for me in the past. AJ [/QUOTE]
