Minimalist load development, What next?

[Starlite]

I do not crimp except for hand guns. I've never had rifle bullets move. Have you?

No. Nor do I want to. Especially if I don't know it, I miss a critical shot. My comment was more to illustrate crimping can improve SDs and MOA; by making neck tension more consistent.

Big Eclipse, I think you are on the right track. I wouldn't be too concerned about spending some $$$ on getting my rifle right where I want it. That said, three things I love are a bargain, efficient process, and a 0.5 moa rifle : load set up...
