Tell me Alan, do you sand down the last kernel of powder to make that .001 grain - or do you shave it with a scalpel?
LOL! Yeah, I see what you mean. TAK was correct. I meant .01 grain. I do shoot several sniper matches per year here in Utah that regularly go out to 900-1000 yds and the 24hr Sniper Challenge at the end of July up North of you this July is slated to out to 1200.
What I have noticed since using my Acculab VIC 123, I regularly and easily see single digit SD's from my loads. In Glen Zediker's "Handloading for Competition"
http://www.zediker.com/books/handloading/hlmain.htmlhe states his goal for the long stuff is to accept nothing more than a 12 SD load. Good advice.
