[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2023377, member: 109994"] One thing to keep in mind, is that if you're practicing a lot and plan to use the factory loads your gun likes for hunting, your gun might not like those factory loads after shooting 500 rounds in practice. The erosion of the lands within the throat over time will change your bullet jump for those factory loads. Many reloaders will gradually change their seating depth to be longer, to "chase" the lands so that they can keep the same bullet jump for the accurate load they worked up. I have one rifle that I hunt with and shoot for fun. My load that I hunted with this season is no longer accurate as is. I cleaned my bore and found that the lands receded about 0.007 since the last time I measured, which was before I worked up that hunting load. [/QUOTE]
