[QUOTE="Salmonchaser, post: 1524648, member: 107697"] I think if Yogi Berra was asked he would describe successful shooting as 10% natural ability 20% equipment, 25% training and 90% mental. I think we largely ignore the mental aspect when our groups open up, go home, add or subtract .1 grains or add or subtract .05 seating depth. I know I've burned a lot of powder doing so, only to come back to the "old load" If you're getting under 1 MOA consistently with off the shelf equipment, you're doing very well. If it were me I'd buy as much of the ammo you were shooting as you can and have fun. I'd also collect some data on your factory ammo; bullet, velocity in your rifle, not published velocity, over all length to the ogive, how far off the lands. When you start reloading you'll have a great place to start. [/QUOTE]
