John, I do not shoot the volume on chucks that you shoot at prairie dogs. I've killed over a thousand chucks and never had a load bite me in the butt. I shoot two primary rifles, A Sako 223 with a PacNor barrel and a 20 TAC with the same brand barrel. If I do my part with my reloads, they shoot under 1/2" anytime. Both guns were rebarreled by Bob Greene.
I seldom shoot anything less than 200 yards as it is not very sporting.
So I have confidence in me and my guns and that is why 1 shot groups are what I like after the final loads are chosen.
John in being very truthful, I have never had a good experience with factory barrels except with 06's and my 243 HB Sako. Both were extremely accurate. I suspect that you have used lots of factory rifles, of which there is a huge difference in accuracy generally.
