One more time it matters. It all does.
Try it at 300 you probably will see.


I shoot at 300 quite often. On the target I posted earlier I made notes to include the head to ogive length including a Sinclair nut comparator. The rifle I was shooting that day likes its bullets seated a bit shorter than some of my other 308s. I know this because I tested for it.

I'm not taking the extreme position of "nothing matters for hunting rifles".
Thats your choice, ive shot atleast a dozen hunting rifles off of bipods at 650-700 that will shoot 1.5-2" groups consistently in good conditions its why I only shoot load development in good conditions after that I dont care about some wind.
