Stone Cold, about special equipment you need for match grade reloads.... I would first start with some well made basic equipment and try some load combinations. You might be able to satisfy your accuracy requirements without spending too much money. Like a race car, the money and effort you spend getting better performance seems to increase exponentiallyas compared to the results.You could very quickly reach a point, even with solid, basic reloading equipment,where the gunis the limiting factor in your quest formatch grade ammo.

About what procedures makes match grade ammo.... compatibility and concistency.Only experimentationcan prove what combination of bullets, powder, primers, seating depth, etc. your rifle willshoot best.(It may help to set a goal for yourself, you could wear out a barrelor chamber before you tried all the possible combinations!)Of course when you find what works, being able to load consistently is the key to accurate ammo.

A good starting place for equipment is Sinclair International, andI have foundboth Sierra and Nosler to make some very accurate bullets.
