[QUOTE="jvon, post: 866083, member: 52089"] My apology Sully. I'm just a grouchy old fart, and someone prior to you got my dander up. I normally don't post on this forum , but on accurate rifle. Just trying to share some knowledge I have acquired in 40 years of competive shooting and reloading. A scale accurate to one hundredth of a grain , by itself is not the magical ingredient, how ever when you stack all the tolerances, ie case weight, case volume, bullet weight& bearing surface, pointing bullets to increase balistic coefficient, neck turning cases to insure consistent neck pressure etc. when you shoot at a thousand yds I know you won't believe but 1 or 2 granules of powder will show itself! At 100 to 500 yds you will never notice. One good example is trimming meplats and repointing the bullet. In my f class gun 7 WSM at 1000 yds a reprinted berger180 hybrid will impact 10" higher than an out of the box. This is because of the increased BC. The verticalis no big deal, but with that increase in BC the wind factor is reduced which is a big help at 1000yds. Anyway I agin apologize for being a jerk! JVON [/QUOTE]
