That is pretty much why I bought my first one. Mine was a Ruger MPR. I'm on my third now. The first and last proved pretty accurate but with very different ammo. The first shot the best groups but was kind of fussy. The current one likes different bullets and is almost as good as the first's best, but not quite. The middle one was good, and if I didn't know better from the other two, I would probably call it great, especially given the cost, but it simply wasn't as accurate as the other two. By accurate, the first one was shooting under half inch with 60 grain VMAX bullets. The current one has given me a number of sub MOA loads but what I like best is it keeps the accubonds under 3/4ths of an inch for 5 shots. I can do this.

You start out buying them, then you start upgrading what you bought, then you start building them from scratch.....it's a vicious cycle!


The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

One always seems to have just the right amount of parts to start on another.
