[QUOTE="Buttstock, post: 1895252, member: 105839"] 1). The big positive accuracy benefit of flash hole uniforming ( K&M flash hole uniformer, $20. Excellent, because the cutting depth is consistent, and controlled at the inside of the case head with a fixed depth stop - NOT by a stop at the end of case mouth, which can vary in length for each case giving variable results on the flash hole itself ). You may get 25+% group size reduction with it. I have. 2). Benefit of dry lubing the inside of a case neck with 3-4 rotations of a #2 pencil ( graphite). Less drag from neck expander, and less neck stretch. 3.). Set an accuracy goal when working a load. Once you get it, STOP load development, and PRACTICE with that load. Learn to judge wind. Learn to judge distances. Become a rifleman, not just a shooter and tinkerer. 4). Yes, you can own too many guns. Get one that meets your needs, and PRACTICE with it. (Goes in the category of "K.I.S.S"). Again, get familiar and competent with the rifle you choose, and become a rifleman. 5). A good old school chambering in 270 Win, 308 Win, 30-06, in an accurate bolt action, just simply works for all big game, except big bears, cape buffalo, elephant, etc ( how many of use actually do that?). Don't get distracted by new cartridges ( marketing), it's re-inventing the wheel. Be a rifleman. [/QUOTE]
