[QUOTE="droptine, post: 2388442, member: 1258"] This thread reminds me of some of my past experiences, which started many years back. 30-35 years ago I would buy a Weatherby. It came with a test target which in some cases was a ragged hole with Wby ammo. I could reload a get close but never match test targets. But I didn’t put any extra effort into it. I’m pretty much a Shilen barrel guy now. If I had to chase a test target again. I’d do what someone mentioned above. I’d try to match as many as the components as I knew. Then try to match velocity of whatever factory round they test targeted with. I going to retire end of Jan. I may try to dig some of those test targets out if I still have them. Knock the dust off some of those old Wbys and see how close I can get. [/QUOTE]
