[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1370725, member: 2736"] Thanks but its not magic, Just the loading and chambering philosophy that I prefer. I don't believe that you have to seat the bullet against the lands to get accuracy, so none of my rifles are set up this way. When barrels were so so, bullets were iffy, and chamber reamers were not that good either, plus many poor gunsmiths, It was necessary in order to get any kind of accuracy. Now all of this has changed and with a little careful selection of components and quality reloads, with all the other improvements, (Many helped by long rang hunting/shooting demands) Seating bullets to the lands is not necessary to get accuracy in my opinion and it cost us velocity unless we exceed recommended chamber pressures. I believe in 98% to 105% case density @ max SAMME pressures, Plenty of loaded or chambered free bore, Cartridge lengths that will fit into standard magazine lengths, And with all the best chamber reamers and smithing that is possible, fed the best/most concentric loads I can load in order to get accuracy with velocity at standard pressures. Simple, not magic . This is just a philosophy that I have migrated to over years (50+) of loading and shooting that has made many things that were considered a Must obsolete for me and proven to produce the highest velocity with the best accuracy. My accuracy goals have always been sub 1/4 MOA and preferably less than 1/10 MOA (possible, but harder). And to the heat sensitivity of powders, I prefer to go with powders that are the least sensitive to heat and exhibit the lowest SDs for the most "Consistent" Shot to Shot performance and then work on the best loading for it. Some will not agree with this philosophy, and that is fine because they have had good accuracy using other methods. I am greedy, I want it all. Accuracy, speed, consistency, dependability, safety, Barrel and brass life, ETC. so I leave no stone unturned and results are there. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
