Thread: Variables affecting precision

I think there's a lot of noise around the issue that is complicating it. It is helpful to go back to the purpose.

to visually represent the primary variables we typically play with when it comes to reloading and precision

When I am talking about these things, there are implicit assumptions:

1. That any shooter error in the system will be more or less constant across the loads tested - which is true if you get reasonable sample sizes.
2. That the rifle is not dysfunctional. I recommend that if you want a high likelihood of good precision (0.1MRAD mean radius or better) with a wide range of bullets and powders, then you can improve your chances of obtaining that by having a good barrel on a good action bedded properly in a good stiff stock.



I think the first diagram is still pretty good.
