Thread: Variables affecting precision

"With a Benchrest rifle you can see the difference in seating depth and powder charge, and it is definitely more noticeable and repeatable than with the factory rifles I own and even more noticeable and repeatable at 200."
Following on from 19Badger there are F-Open shooters that say the same and I have seen similar at the range with shooters experimenting with seating depths in real time using precision K&M Arbor Press and Wilson seating dies.

"If you aren't using some form of wind indicator when shooting all you are doing is guessing and being oblivious to something that affects the bullet"
Likewise just because you think there's no wind doesn't mean there isn't. Again, have seen this at NRA ranges. Te Puke was one earlier this year. 300 yard range, wind flags were showing bugger-all movement but there was quite a crosswind at targets where there were no flags. Could see affecting freshly grazed pasture if looking hard enough.
