[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2578646, member: 101791"] Consistencies: That what's makes the reloads better. Hard to seen a .001 or 2. Plus are the pocket all the same? A finger test I don't think that cuts it's. I am was happy when my groups are at 1/2" @ 100yds in most of my rifles "BUT". I have always work towards closing the groups down to as small as possible.
