Your right, variances do make a difference.The same round in a different rifle makes a huge difference even though they may be "mil spec". Small differences in length can and will have an effect on pressures and accuracy.The best guru for pin point accuracy was Carlos Hathcock. One of the best snipers in Vietnam.When he taught precision rifle, his students came to the range with mags full of ammo. He had them set up, put in their dope for the range they were shooting at and take the shot.When they took that shot, He told them to go home, clean their gun and come back tomorrow. Take one shot, and repeat the drill to go home and clean.His training was for a cold bore shot to be the most accurate. Similar to what a hunter needs. Shooting  3 shot groups for hours proves nothing for a hunter or a sniper. It only proves you can get a group after your barrel warms up. You need that cold bore shot to be the most accurate for that discipline. If your into long range steel or whatever, a lot of folks shoot one into the dirt to foul the bore, and warm the barrel and then shoot.Sorry to ramble so much, but It all depends on what your intended purpose is to set the rifle up for.</blockquote>
