[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2644458, member: 101859"] Forward thinking test everything on the target and go with what shoots smallest. I have been involved with testing and development with a lot of rifle components, especially ignition. The records continue to fall every year because of advances in equipment and tuning knowledge. Some guys go to extremes at the loading bench to make the ammo as perfect as they can because they can. One of my customers spins his case with an indicator on the primer to make sure its seated square. Guys dont post about it but youd be surprised at how far some go with regards not just primer sorting and seating but all aspects of the load. I have done my own testing and I can make them shoot in the 1"s at 1k without doing that. In fact, at Deep Creek last march I shot a 1.6 and backed it up with a 1.5 at 1k with the worst lot of 205s I have seen .008 height variation. I did not sort them, just seated. Didnt even clean the carbon out of the primer pockets. This is the kind of accuracy we are seeking, we didn't get here by not testing everything you can think of. Now, I'm not advocating that guys should not try different tools or methods, but most of the time shooters focus on the gadgets and tools when the real problem is they dont have a good load development process.
