[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1274961, member: 10429"] I think Darkker has pointed out a lot of good points. Also one of the issue that I have found with trying to get bullets to shoot or those one that just don't seem to shoot good can be quality control of there own bullet. I have some 142 accubond LR's and been having a some difficult time trying to group. First off I really don't like to take the time to sort bullets. Being lazy this way. After a few range trips I started measuring the bearing surface on the bulletrs. There is some definite differences on the same box that I bought. I sorted the rest by bearing surface and weight. Groups are tightening up. This is just one example. But on the other hand just my experience the bergers, hornady, and seria match kings seem to be more consistent and I don't have to sort them. Now with this said I generally stop tuning on a load when I reach 1/2 MOA at 200 yards. This generally gets me to 1000yrds with a 1 MOA shot. With all this said I have shot Bergers the most and have never had to sort, once tuned just pick straight out of the box. My hornady 220 ELD-X are also proving very easy to tune and seem to be very consistent as well. [/QUOTE]
