[QUOTE="dugby, post: 1437192, member: 7393"] (Note: all 308 Win stuff) I am getting excited about shooting at distance. (out to 1000) I am looking for opinions on where I should focus my efforts next. My groups are a little over 1/2 moa [U]on average [/U]with my good loads. I would like to put a dent in that. The chamber is .341 neck. 1/12 twist 31" Bartlein barrel I do NOT do any of the following: Turn necks Sort brass Sort bullets Check runout on cartridges Ream flash holes on cases Keep very good records Weigh every charge I do the following: Try different powders ( H4895 mostly) Try different bullets (Sierra 155Palma ,175 SMK, Berger 168) Gonna try some Berger 190's today if time permits. Try different seating lenghts Try different charge weights Try different brands of brass (Lapua and Winchester) Keep a spreadsheet of which loads perform well in which rifles. Use a chronograph Been using Lee dies on a Lyman press. What are your thoughts on where to focus my efforts or resources? Like everyone else I want to maximize my results and minimize effort/expense. Thanks, Dugby [/QUOTE]
