[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3753237, member: 43126"] The fun part is first and foremost. As for the purpose of them, if I were looking for competition accuracy, I would start with a precision rifle. Our purpose is to get the best accuracy out of them, as possible, but not worry about spending extra money on Lapua, etc., brass. Also I want to work on consistency by way of case length, shoulder bump, headspace, seating depth, etc.. In other words, play the game with what I have and get the most out of it. We can currently shoot 3/4” groups at 100, 11/2” at 200 with factory ammo. There’s no doubt in my mind, I can dial that down tighter, so that’s my goal. I’m currently reading and studying as I always have, it’s just a matter of somehow saving enough cash to get a decent trimmer, as well as comparator tools to help me get more consistent cases, seating, and the like. To me, although I can’t afford top notch tools, the challenge of getting the best and the most, out of every case and bullet fired, is the fun part. Since I don’t know anyone, and can’t afford a hunting lease, honestly I’m not a good enough hunter to find them in public lands. The real truth of our hunting trips will come around maybe once in 10 years. Case in point I have been deer hunting once since 1999, that was the 2020 season when we went to the Black Kettle WMA. Suffice to say, I really don’t expect to go hunting more than 1 or 2 more times in my life. So, I’m forced to do basically targets, but if the opportunity arises, I’d like to at least know I could drop one. [/QUOTE]
