What part of the process are you changing on the fly?? The bullet, powder, primer....?? I would have no problem changing my primer and having 100% confidence in my ammo. If I'm changing the bullet or powder....I feel I would personally have to work the load from the start. I also believe a guy can work a sub MOA load in under 50 rounds and sometimes in 20-30 if you have a good starting point.
Try Hammer hunters. A few times now I’ve stumbled on less than 1moa right out the gate. I don’t settle for more than 1 moa with a custom barrel and no more than 1.5 moa with a factory barrel. Any more than that and I’m barrel shopping. 2 moa from prone shooting targets doesn’t sound that good considering all taller shooting positions would be considered less stable and hunting accuracy tends to be worse than target accuracy. I’d expect that to open up to 3+ moa in the field when hunting.

I also believe a guy can work a sub MOA load in under 50 rounds and sometimes in 20-30 if you have a good starting point. Primers and brass. With some brass having more or less capacity and primers varying in how hit they are, I back off and work up. Sometimes, I can’t quite duplicate the accuracy from the original load.
Do you mean 2” at 400 yards? 2 moa at 400 yards is roughly 8” group. 1 moa is roughly 1” per hundred yards. Not sure I’d be good with that.
You are correct.....I don't shoot a lot of cci and had my numbers crossed. I stand behind my previous statement that you shouldn't get that great a difference assuming your original load was Sub MOA. My guess the original load was not not and the small variations are magnified that much more. I'm pretty anal when it comes to my rifle loading and I have never noticed a ton of difference with simply changing brass or primers.

There could be any number if more pertinent factors. The biggest question was whether all the effort makes much sense if I’m shooting at big game at ranges no more than 400 yards, and that’s under perfect conditions.
