[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3352486, member: 41653"] Several thoughts. First, as you figured, never make scope adjustments during that type of testing. It will distort the results. Second, I like the idea, but I think you need more rounds on a target. Minimum 10, but more is better. Take your better loads, and shoot at least 10 per target. You can get a better idea of the grouping that way. Third, the dies. RCBS can be precise, but they aren't benchrest dies. Look at the Sinclair/Wilson hand dies, with an arbor press for precision. The press is a one time purchase, the dies are relatively inexpensive after that. Dies [URL]https://www.brownells.com/reloading/reloading-dies/rifle-dies/chamber-type-bullet-seater-dies-prod36168.aspx[/URL] Press [URL]https://www.brownells.com/reloading/reloading-presses/single-stage-presses/sinclair-arbor-press-prod37764.aspx[/URL] The whole setup with one die can be less than one set of other dies. After that, each cartridge die is much less than comparable threaded precision dies. [/QUOTE]
