[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2119630, member: 101859"] I tell a lot of my BR customers that long range BR is not a shooting competition, its a tuning competition. We have put inexperienced shooters behind good rifles with good tunes and they have been competitive and even won relays. Learn to enjoy the challenge of working through load development and you will eventually get that rifle to shoot like you want it to. Assuming its a well built custom capable of your requirements. Some factory rifles can shoot really well too, but its more of a gamble. If your one of those guys that just hates load development, Id really try to find a way not to. Look at it like a puzzle. You can pay someone to do it but its a changing puzzle. The load doesnt stay the same over a barrels life and different weather. So there is no "pet load" for a barrel if you want it to shoot its best. The fact is, load development is a big part of lr shooting. And do not feel bad if you struggle. All of us went through barrels learning how to do it and are still learning. It takes effort. Struggling through some things and figuring them out for yourself will take you farther than just following someones recipe. Learn the "whys". [/QUOTE]
