[QUOTE="jdavistx, post: 1630931, member: 89418"] So many variables. 1) a good bullet, with good BC measurements over velocity. Berger. People want to mess with powder. It only covers up other mistakes. 2) same brass - fired or re-fired? It changes. 3) excellent scale - measure carefully. 4) same primer of good quality 5) have a micrometer that measures down to 1/10,000" $75 bucks. 6) one change at a time. 7) are you a shooter? No matter how good the gun, pulling the trigger should be as natural as a heartbeat. What are you shooting? A bad gun, no matter what you do, won't hit. Harmonics, etc. Study Brian Litz. Look up tibouriesrex on Youtube. If you study these guys, you'll be a sniper. Temperature? don't leave your bullets sitting in the sun. Increases velocity. A "hot" round decreases accuracy, don't go with hot round. An old .308 is still hard to beat at less than 1000 yards. If you can't drill 1 hole at 100yards, somethings wrong. Either equipment or the human factor. Then if you want to really go long range and drive nails: 1) get the wind right. If you're shooting over 500 yards, it's the big factor. It changes over distance. 2) Air density, spin drift,, coriolis effect. Just focus on the basics. If you can't drill 1 hole at 100 yards, something is wrong. Focus on the basics. IMHU. [/QUOTE]
