[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 659939, member: 33822"] Lots of great info here coming from a whole lot of experience. For me, the single most important component that has yielded the best accuracy in my guns, is quality brass. When I shoot crappy brass, I can be using premium bullets/powder/primers/techniques and accuracy just sucks. To me this means either Norma, Lapua or Nosler brass that is weight sorted and has neck thickness verified to be within +/- .0005" and trimmed to length. Once I load the ammo I sort by concentricity, and although I prefer the loaded ammo to be .002" or less runout, I have found no real-world difference in loads that are .008" runout or less. This would probably not work for bench rest guys or the guys that are much better shots than myself... I don't do every last little reloading trick. My accurate guns are .30 cal or bigger, weigh between 7.5 and 9 pounds scoped, and all shoot 1/2 MOA as far as I shoot which is 1000 yds or less. [/QUOTE]
