RE: BOSS or no BOSS
I really like the boss system. I have the Boss CR on my browning .243 and the ability to tune good factory loads with it has been a life saver more than once. I found that a federal premium load dialed in with the boss will shoot 1/2" or less groups at 100 yards all day. I just developed a handload that was as close to federal premiums load so now that is the only load I shoot. If I happen to go hunting and forget my ammo or run out, I just go to the nearest store and buy some federal premium stuff and know that it will still shoot sub 1/2" groups. I may be losing a few fps but I don' t care. OF the 15 deer shot with the same load and rifle not one has cared that the 100gr Sierra SBT was only going 2850 and not 2950fps like it could have been. You might not need the boss, but it comes in handy.
