[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3221505, member: 5412"] Learn to reload and find the bullet/powder combination that makes your rifle the most accurate, then continue to build that same load. Factory loads are notoriously not that accurate unless you go to the premium loads that are more consistent but even then, may not work in your particular rifle. Every combination of brass/primer/powder/bullets produces a harmonic in the barrel when shot. The trick is to to find the combination that makes that harmonic happen at the same time, every time. Then you have accuracy. Different gun manufacturers have brought out brakes, or in the case of Winchester/Browning compensators that are tunable to adjust for the sweet spot of accuracy, but as you change lot numbers of factory ammo, you might lose that harmonic. I've been using the same load for my 30-06 since the 80's and it has taken untold numbers of deer and 8 elk at some pretty long ranges. [/QUOTE]
