Come On JTP....I told you that load worked well.  We have only shot around 15K on that load in comps and it seemed to work perfectly!  Now you just have to load ammo like the rest of us and not on your dillon :chuckle:.  That is why I have 4 chargemasters!

Travis, I'm still sizing, priming, and seating on the Dillon 550.
I threw these from my slightly modded RCBS thrower. Checked every 10th. My Redding comp seater shines the ogive too much for my taste, so I'm getting a Forester. I think a drop tube is in my future as well. 42.2 fills  the 6.5.  And this shoots better in once fired cases so far.

Jim the Plumber you put out impressive shots.  I admire your ability and would like to ask a elementary question.

I shoot more than the average guy and but far from the hobbyist.  When I see groups like this from you and lesser but still imprssive groups from other my question is wheher the rifle is under additional aid.  Meaning a lead sled, elctronic guidance, or other.  What I am saying is do you guys do something to take the human element out of the shot to guage the rifle more on the rifle accuracy with less human error?

In summary I feel I may have extremely accurate rifles but they are only as accurate as I can shoot them, accurate to my limitations so do you implement aids to take out the human element?

I can appreciate that you and others shoot so much you tune in your shooting skills as well but on such close groups at such a range I was just wondering if you enthusiasts use such aids.

Thanks.

99% of my shooting is prone, Harris bi pod up front and a Redman mini bean bag under the butt stock.
 I don't use any 'electronic aids'.
 You really must have a solid foundation to start with. This is where classes can help. If you are doing it wrong, you can shoot thousands of rounds a year and still suck.
 Start with a rifle from a reputable builder and instructions from a reputable teacher. This lays the great foundation. The rest, then, is up to you.
 As an aside, I'd rather get kicked in the nuts than use a lead sled.
