[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3573976, member: 27991"] I'm NOT a benchrest or extremely anal on precision. I do like having a nice group. About the only factory ammo I buy, is when I i get a new caliber ( rarely). Just to get the brass and test the rifle for base accuracy. When buying bullets, I prefer the mid -light weight and hunting bullets. Example: .223 62-64gr, 6.5 123gr, .30-06 150 gr I pick a powder with the highest velocity, preferably one I already have Set up a ladder test. Hopefully, finding 1" or better @100 yards. Load a batch and shoot 10 shots @200 and @300 yards. After final load selection. I do the majority of shooting offhand Minute of deer is acceptable. IF a rest of any kind is attainable, in the field, my accuracy will be better than offhand and my confidence in making the shot does not hinder me. Once the load is determined, I buy several hundred bullets and keep 400-500 rounds loaded. I had a 7mag load that shot 3" or better @ 350 yards, from the bench. I took several deer from 300-450 yards. . These panic shortages don't affect me much. [/QUOTE]
