[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 1168539, member: 8358"] Shooting one-hole groups is the next step for you in shooting. The key to shooting this small of a group in my experience, which is limited to one 243Win rifle, is in the hold of the gun when firing. I have shot a five round group so small with that rifle I couldn't measure it, as in one single hole. The trick is to use heavy sandbags with the rifle rested in them so that you only have to lightly hold the wrist grip and lightly put your shoulder behind the rifle to catch the recoil. Any stress felt in the stock of the rifle transfers into the action/barrel and causes deviation. With an accurate rifle I can shoot .25 MOA off of a bi-pod, on a good day, but can't get one hole without the heavy bags. I used a lead sled for a short time and couldn't get under .5 MOA. JMHO BTW, I don't see any advantage in turning case necks for a standard caliber cartridge unless the cases are just junk. [/QUOTE]
