[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1145443, member: 5220"] Not debating either but think we are talking different things. I have never been able to "load" to accuracy for a gun that shot well made factory ammo 2 to 3 moa..... When someone brings a gun in for me to develop a load for first thing I do is take an accuracy load from a manual (or a load that has been solid in other guns of same caliber for me) and load 5 at about .050" off the lands and test. If gun hangs very near or under moa, then and only then will I proceed to "tune". This just comes from a time issue to hunt and peck thru all the multitudes of combos that are available for loads. After about a total of 3-5 bullet/load changes I get done real quick if it is a sow's ear. But at the same time have went out in range shoot 5 shots with their ammo/loads under moa and hand it back to them and tell "there its fixed", and at no charge. Keep in mind that most of the time when someone brings one of these in the door it is because it won't shoot for them to begin with but I am supposed to build the magic load for it. But I have never made a gun that shot 2 - 3 moa with well made ammo, (reloads or factory), turn into a solid under moa performer. I too test and tune loads to the anal degree when I have something to work with starting off. I think what we are saying is take a good known accuracy load from a manual for the bullet you want to shoot and test and be pleasantly surprised how easy this is or vice versus. You posted previously that you had .75" group @ 100.....so you are at very good accuracy to begin with.....makes it worth tuning. What is the gun's use purpose, what bullet would you prefer to shoot, what terminal performance and distances are on your wish list? [/QUOTE]
