[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1890741, member: 2736"] I try not to load over 100 rounds and normally load 50 rounds for my hunting rifles. This will give me enough ammo for many years and seems to be plenty. I always expect the POI to change due to conditions, but the group size seems to remain very close. I always check the zero each season and make any changes that are needed no matter how small. The difference is normally my shooting. For shooting matches I always load enough to handle a match + siter's and practice rounds. Normally when I get to less than 20 rounds of the ammo for one of my hunting rifles, it is time to start working up a new batch. This way I will still have enough to finish a season, but time to work up/test a new batch. I always shoot with a clean barrel so I don't have to deal with changing barrel performance. I know that some load hundreds of rounds of ammo at one time and over the years it will degrade and change. So Alex advice is good in my opinion. 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
