[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1023880, member: 1521"] My killzone -vs- accuracy plays a big role in my capability. Then it's a matter of what I desire in capability -vs- what I have. Lately I've been hunting GHs with a 223/50gr Jayners. My ~2.5" killzone sets the max range with a 1/2moa gun at 500yds. This is easy enough in calm conditions, and I'm getting better in wind, but my bullets are very low in BC. So while I get 1/4moa from this system in calm, 1/2moa is still a challenge & risky in gusty winds. With this, I would opt for a closer shot position, or watch & time conditions for a calm shot(if the GH will give me this much). I consider it a 500yd gun. Once in a while I use a 6br/95VLDs. I've taken a good number of GHs past 600yds with it, and I consider it a solid 600yd gun. I'm sure I can go further with my 6.5wssm/139Laps, but I have no where to hunt further, and I'm not motivated so far to do all the testing for hunting shots beyond 600. If I couldn't get that close it wouldn't seem hunting anyway. I tested a tube gun in 6XC/105Laps, but while the gun grouped great it was hopeless for accuracy (so I sold it off). This is just my current situation, to answer your question. As far as same lots? I don't buy any reloading components before first confirming that I can purchase what I need from that lot for the life of a barrel. No powder, brass, primers, or bullets, unless they got a bunch of em. With brass, I buy it all, measure it, cull enough of it, before ordering a reamer. Everything we do amounts to choices that lead to results. This is one of mine. [/QUOTE]
