Default RE: What do you do?

ORIGINAL: killadoe

When you have found the right load to shoot out of your gun? And you still wanna tinker and mess around with it some more, even though you get a sub 1in group at 100 steps. I was thinking of getting a new ML but financially cant at this time so i just get to look at mine and try to figure out what to do next. But it is so close to perfect I hate to mess it up. Like the post about the barrel polishing, I would love to be able to do that just to have something to do, but I am scared it may make my accuracy fall.
I just shoot for groups and never move my scope settings.I take pictures of each of my 5 shot groups, and I name my files somethinglike this:

Barnes_Origonal_300g_4198_CrushedRibSabot_Federal_ Primer_2008_04_08_GOOD_LOAD.jpg

When it gets closer to hunting season, I move my sights to 3" high at 100 yards, that gives me a MBPR of about 200 yards with the Barnes Origonal for example. Just shoot for groups, and don't worrry about adjusting. My guns works fine like that. Chap
