[QUOTE="trebark, post: 262884, member: 19172"] shooter: Q1: A custom rifle probably would shoot more accruately than your current rifle, but do you want to lay out that kind of money to find out? Unless you've got deep pockets, I would work with the rifle you currently have. Q2: Your rifle will probably shoot better with handloaded ammo. This is an investment worth making even if you're only able to duplicate the accuracy results you're currently getting. Just looking at the variety of bullets available you would be able to put together a custom load for whatever situation you might encounter. Q3: Tough to say whether your ammo will hold 1moa accuracy out to 1k. For example, recently I was out shooting my .308 at 800 yards and my rifle shot just fine with factory ammo. At 900 yards it keyholed every shot (the bullet started to tumble in the air). The only way you will find out the accuracy potential of your ammo at 1k is to go out and shoot 1k. [/QUOTE]
