I too agree with Bryan, the best tools don't always make you a great carpenter. I get plenty of trigger time, so I kind of take that for granted, thinking everyone is doing the same. Every hunter needs to identify and know his maximum effective range and then have the discipline to stick to it.

Thanks Robby. I appreciate your insight also. Glad you enjoyed my reviews in HF. I enjoyed providing the information to people. Keep up the good work yourself.

Thanks Bryan! Good advice and great to have you on the thread. Thoroughly enjoyed your gear reviews with HF over the years. Learned alot.

I've never done any of those things, except floating the barrel and always thought that consistently hitting clay pigeon targets at 400 yds or hitting a pie plate at 500 while leaning over the hood of a truck was pretty darn good.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Holy resurrected thread, Batman!

Good stuff, link goes to a Turkey article though. Missed in the discussion is the barrel. This holds 99% of the mechanical part of the equation. A really good barrel will cover a lot of sin, both in action trueness, chamber tolerance, and ammunition quality. As builders this is the thing we least control that contributes the most to accuracy. If the barrel is a dog, it doesn’t matter who does the plumbing, makes the action, or assembles the loads.
