[QUOTE="Bughole, post: 934687, member: 40718"] I agree with the previous post, With a top quality rifle, custom barrel, properly broken in to the point the velocities stabilize( usually by 50 rounds or so.) you should be able to achieve es in the high teens at worst for 1000 yd work and sd will be in the single digits. Sometimes it's a simple primer change to get there sometimes it;s powder lot or type. Just keep playing with your loads and listen to what the group size and shape is telling you. With super accurate rifles I usually shoot at 300 yds. to read group shape and indicators as to what's really happening. I also chart the individual shots in the group. I want to know where 1st went and 2nd and so on. Good Luck gun) [/QUOTE]
