[QUOTE="bowhunthard88, post: 261429, member: 12575"] Very well stated, IN MOST CASES! ALL factory barrels are NOT junk. I have seen, and own, a few barrels that prove otherwise. I.E. my .308 VTR, totally factory, with handloads it consistently shoots 0.089" - 0.25" @ 100 yds. AND while buying five different powders and five different bullets and expirimenting is the best way to find out exactly the hows/whats of accuracy in YOUR particular gun, this again is not always true. I.E. my .308 VTR again. I checked my COAL and distance to rifling, did some research on bullets, and tried 2 different powders. My SECOND 4-SHOT GROUP WAS 0.25". Doing your homework pays off. I have had similar expiriences with other rifles also. While putting in your legwork will pay off in the best groups possible, it is not unreasonable to believe that doing your homework will considerably shorten your actual time involved (not to mention cheaper). Very, very well stated as a general rule. I'm glad this was mentioned, at least as a reality check. Hope I didn't tick anybody off lol. :D [/QUOTE]
