I shoot 600/1000 yard Benchrest, and I check/straighten every round, down to a half a thou or less runout. All are "record" rounds.

Last match I won both Light Gun and Heavy Gun group aggs.........




Thanks aalf,
That pretty much answers my question.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
