[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1890775, member: 101859"] I think how much you notice the load change will depend on how good the rifle is shooting. The better it shoots, the more obvious small changes are to see. The tune actually changes constantly throughout the day. and more dramatically the farther the distance. Do not assume your .5 moa 100 yard group is going to shoot .5 moa at 1000yds, that is not how it works. This is why I try to get my rifles tuned as well as I can so that when they do go out of tune a little they are still .5 moa. So far as re-tuning, I just load a small powder charge window and shoot 3 shot groups at 1k in a ladder format. I also check my touch length to the rifling every time I load. The thing with doing this re tune, is that eventually you will get to know your barrel, and you will be able to make a very good call on what to load if you cant get out to check it. Tuning is just like shooting, the more often you do it, the better you get at it. If you dread it, it will be very hard to get good at it, look at it as a learning experience every time, its not something you master. [/QUOTE]
