[QUOTE="Jesse09, post: 1108228, member: 88547"] Thanks for the reply. My rifle is a custom, with a Broughton #4 contour and McMillan stock, professionally built and bedded by Jered Joplin of American Precision Arms. Jered expects groups in the .25" range, but delivered it to me, unfired. I would like the lowest MV (to prolong barrel life) that still takes full advantage of the flat trajectory this caliber can deliver (3400's). I'm not certain what you're asking in terms of ES, but of course a low Es indicates a more reliable point of impact. As far as how good is good enough: I could have bought an off-the-shelf Tikka T3 and obtained sub-MOA with factory ammo (I've done four of them). I think the .5" range isn't asking too much with the current rifle. Jesse [/QUOTE]
