[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1371757, member: 52437"] All, Just looking for ideas/tips on the quickest methods to use to work-up a load which provides "decent" accuracy. I have been falling out of the longer hunting/shooting range game (limited places to shoot) so my long range game is now limited to 400 yards. A sub MOA load should do the trick these days. So if your goal was simply to make a sub-MOA load out of a big box store rifle (assuming the rifle can achieve it)...how would you do a quick load work up with out breaking the bank as far as powder and bullets go? Note: Pretend you purchased a decent off the shelf rifle like a Savage 10/110, Tikka, or higher end Remington and you just wanted to get a load which was sub 1MOA. What would your process be? My current plan is this: I have researched the cartidge in question and chosen 2 popular powders for that cartridge. I have 2 types of bullets. I am going to run a quick OCW test on the one bullet I'm hoping to work with the 2 powders. If that does not pan out, then try the other bullet. Thoughts? Again, looking for the quickest way using the least powder and bullets to achieve a 1MOA rifle.
