[QUOTE="Wisconsin Big Foot, post: 804697, member: 68244"] After reading the original article and skimming over many postings, I don't see what I believe is the most important step in accuracy. Hand-loading a selected load with EXACTLY the same weight charge. I started hand loading for my fathers customized 1937 K98 Mauser he brought back from North Africa. I've done many tricks to this beauty like Cryo treating the barrel, bedding the action and free-floating the barrel, designing and making a custom muzzle brake that eliminates ALL recoil; but the final piece is measuring the powder so exactly that I add or take out one speck of powder. My loads chronograph within 10 FPS with several exactly the same out of ten shots. My best 3 shot group at 100 yds with 150 gr. Speer bullets @ 2900 fps is a 5/16 circle through the center of all three holes touching each other. A penny covers all the holes. I hunt deer across harvested corn fields @ 250 yards from a blind off a steady rest. I hand load the same way for my .308 AR-10 and my Mauser 66 in .243 and they all shoot within an inch of point of aim on that all important first shot. Since getting serious about accuracy I've never missed a one-shot-kill out of the last 20 plus deer. [/QUOTE]
