    I agree neck tension is the singular most important aspect of reloading. If you feel an overly tight or loose one then mark it as a fouling load. Never let that round into the box unmarked. That's the flier right there.

    do the reloads group well if so relax do not stress go with the flow if they shoot well just go hunting
    the mind boggles as said are you a bush hunter or a long range hunter??
    if you go hunting and miss then maybe its time to create a list of what the fcuk is going on and try and figure out what can be done to sort it out
    www.ballisticstudies.com is a good place to start
    Yeah I suspect there might be a few gremlins in the mix there. What projectile was used? Is the parralax dialed out? 5 hundy is pretty close so to be extremely off I'd be worried
