[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 906010, member: 59039"] Thanks for the repies. I think I have had my basic question answered. I will take all of this into consideration. The gun got rebarreled a few years ago by the lowest bidder. It would not group better than 5" at 100yrds. Some research revealed the twist wasn't the 1/9 I ordered. It was 1/12. Plus the chamber looked like it was cut with a carbide burr, and after removal my new smith (not the lowest bidder) found the chamber was not cut right or head spaced correctly. It was a $500 learning experience. $1100 later I hope to have a very accurate gun again. This is why I am trying to learn better reloading practices. If this works out I have plans to rebarrel my 7WSM and build a 300WM. Thanks again for the help and patience. [/QUOTE]
