I thought that I remember a thread discussing how much different aspects of load and rifle action tuning related to accuracy but I must be using the wrong search parameters.
Now I see many long range super accurate rifles on this sight and I'm sure that their accuracy is not by chance.
Let's say I bought a Remington or a Savage factory rifle and wanted above average accuracy for long range hunting. I could easily go out and buy a premium barrel by " insert name here", add a great trigger " your favorite trigger here".
Now I have a factory action, a great barrel and a great trigger.
How close am I?
I can play with loads; I can turn case necks; I can sort bullet and trim meplats.
If I have an unlimited budget, then I can do everything imaginable, but how about a guy on a budget?
If there are 25 or 50 things on the accuracy list, there are probably between 2 and 10 that account for 90% of all the improvement that I will get.
So does truing the action come before buying the premium barrel and saves about $500, or does the barrel come first and not true the action saving $ xx?
Any thoughts as to the list, and the order that they should be done assuming there is not an unlimited budget....or all of the above if there is no limit?
Thanks.
