[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3168896, member: 15054"] Looks like you are on track I only feel that you need not waste the shots at 100 yards. You do all that work and limit a gun not meant for 100 yard shooting. 200 yards minimum.. 300 and you get into a deal where human error plays a big role. Like holding right on target the heart beat the breathing the hold all plays huge parts when you reach out. But 200 yards those still play a role but not to as much extreme. Not to mention Parallax or wind. My great grouping loads do about .75" at 100 yards but I have shot my great grouping loads under 1" at 300. They just do not shine at 100. Maybe you feel fine shooting at 100 yards.. to me I feel like I am wasting my time and my ammo. 100 is good for initial testing to get scope on the mark or if you never plan on shooting past 100 then all is good. You say you measured the jump to the lands. In my guns there is a point where the lands start marking the bullets but that is NOT the point where the bullet will stop moving forward with light pressure. That point of no more forward movement with light pressure can be .020-.030" deeper into the lands. I see this when I smoke a bullet or color it with permanent marker and check seating depths. Just wondering if your measurements are no more forward movement with light pressure or checked to where you just begin to touch the lands with a slight witness mark on the bullet. [/QUOTE]
