Bingo, that one statement says it all as for how well a gun will shoot, or not shoot.
Lets be perfectly honest here, much of what we do as for load work up is strictly for the entertainment value of the individual shooter.
Not saying that a load cant be tweeked in order to make it better to at least some degree in a particular gun.
But average Joe shooter who might be reading all this neednt be feeling guilty about the way he loads for his factory built rifles either.
Finding ways to improve ones shooting will pay bigger dividends than shaving a small amount from our groups.
Especially at the longer distances.
Which is why my grandson was able to hit that porkupine at 900 yds with a factory built Savage.
