[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2201960, member: 95013"] Sounds like you are already getting great results from your shooting and reloading. 1/2 MOA works all day. My reference to squaring means; [LIST] [*]The chamber was cut square and true to the bore [*]The bolt, lugs and face were all cut square and trued to the action and bore [*]The bolt face is square so that your brass sits perfectly in the bolt face and square to the truing [*]Length of brass is all consistent and trimming square means that all your brass sits in the chamber true to bore center and length is perfectly concentric [*]Bump of .001 of your fired brass ensures you are controlling expansion with every shot - I often see a .3 group turn into a .2 or .15 group after shooting all my brass 1 time and sizing. [/LIST] By doing this, every time you squeeze the trigger and your brass expands in the chamber, the expansion is controlled and consistent keeping a pressures constant. That ensures that the bullet will contact the lands perfectly and then is pushed down the barrel with consistent pressure. Lowers your SD's significantly and ensures accuracy of the rifle and load. Personally I don't weigh my brass. I buy one lot of high quality brass and use only that brass until its through its reloading cycle. If that means I have to buy 600 so be it. Even Bergers can vary slightly within the lot so I buy 1 lot of bullets and measure each lot from base to ogive to ensure proper seating.
