[QUOTE="297joshua, post: 684364, member: 52504"] I had the same expectations as you when I started and had a hard time getting what I wanted. What I found out is, load developement is ALOT of work. If I can't get my guns to shoot under MOA, I sell them. Getting under moa with handloads is entirely possible, just takes effort. I used to use Winchester and CCI primers and a competition long range shooter I know told me to quit using them. Federal match primers are only a couple dollars more and are way more consistent. That helped a bunch. Norma or Lapua brass made a big difference. Bullet seating depths, most of my guns like the bullets seated from .050 to .100 off the lands. Then there is powder, I have a whole shelf of powder now from trying to find which one my guns like... My Vhitavitouri powders seem to be the best in all of my guns. It is a very consistent powder. Well, sit back and enjoy yourself and work on some loads. Today I went through eight different loads on my .257 Weatherby and only one was worth a crap... [/QUOTE]
