[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2341100, member: 109862"] That makes sense. If I ever need to pick someone’s brain I’ll bear you in mind. The 3/4 moa hunting gun is more what I have and it’s what I learned to reload on, a boring ugly old savage 111 in 270 was my first. It has never printed a group I’d post pictures of and brag about, it’s never shot a group under half an inch. It’s also only encountered 2 specific loads in its entire existence that couldn’t do right around an inch or inch and half….it’s kind of boring really. My newer savage 300 win mag has on more than one occasion shot one ragged hole groups but that’s with 3 shots not 10, and I’m fully aware they’re not the same thing at all. One thing I’ve found to live up to the hype has been that hexagonal boron nitride. Pretty much none of the issues of moly and tungsten disulphide, and it really does seem to make loads much less sensitive to seating depth due to the reduction in initial engraving pressure (probably, I don’t actually know if that’s why, just know it works), as well as reducing point of impact differences between cold bore and subsequent shots. Not to mention I have personally found you can load to higher velocities as it allows for larger powder charges. That’s been my experience anyway. I haven’t been using it long enough to know what it does for barrel life yet. [/QUOTE]
