Are you/we loading for plinking, hunting, long range hunting/PRS, bench rest, King of the 2 mile …..? If someone is loading for plinking, accuracy may be a pleasant byproduct. If you're loading for hunting maybe you want a load that will hopefully shoot 1 to 2 moa at distances out to maybe 300 yards. If you're a long range hunter/PRS shooter you would probably like to have 1/2 to 1 moa out to and beyond 1000 yards. If you're a bench shooter, the groups are never tight enough at the distance you compete at. King of the 2 mile, I'm sure they would like bench rest accuracy at each distance shot and one hell of a wind coach beside them. Ask yourself, what's your level of OCD and have at it, but remember bench rest accuracy generally doesn't happen through a factory barrel.Hopefully we can see the differences here? Out of all of these, bench rest is loading for generally one known distance. Everyone else is loading for a host of distances whereby accuracy needs to be sufficient at that time for that particular distance and discipline. I'm sure most bench rest shooters tune/gather data on their loads at what, 600 and 1000 yards? Long range hunters/PRS shooters generally zero at 100 yards and gather data at all different ranges and if the load falls apart, they start over or tweak one thing at a time. The hunter zero's at 100 or 200 yards and calls it good if it's 1 to 2 moa. The plinker is happy it went bang and didn't blow anything up.</blockquote>
