[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 275769, member: 13085"] no rule of thumb, but the sticky post on seating bergers is a great start for all vld bullets All things being held constant, theoretically there would be a one hole group at 1000 yards, but this isn't the case. So many variables. Start with your equipment. Barrel type (custom/factory will make the biggest difference in tightening up your groups, then you can monkey around with OAL , neck tension etc. If you have a factory barrel, then that will be the biggest limiting factor in your groups even with PERFECT ammo, although some factory barrels are better than others. Start by examining your goals (what do you need the rifle for)...., then your equipment (rifle, scope, scope mounts, stock etc)..., then your loads and see where you can make the most improvement for your dollars/time spent. An new barrel with average loads (irregardless of COAL) may be the best group tightener you have ever seen!!! [/QUOTE]
