RE: How many flyer's should I expect?
My '06/168 TSX load is .050 off the lands and shoots a nice little 1/2 MOA cluster......at 500 yards.
For those that don't speak MOA, that's a 2 1/2" group......
Trued up reloads is a given, and you get that from keepin' your head in the daylight while at the bench...and from using good dies.
Bulletdesign and BC's are a point of interest 'cause if it don't/won't fly right.......it ain't gonna hit right.
No rifle "good" or "bad" is gonna shoot well if the guy pullin' the trigger can't shoot.
A good shooter can "make" a bad trigger, a bad shooter harbors nary a clue on a good trigger.
Skirts, kids, little guys, and guys wearin' a skirt, whoshoot big guns well....is rare.
Good barrels is where it's at, and bad barrels can still do a lot of killin'......
Timing the bullet exit from the muzzle at a point in barrel occilation when the muzzle is at it's calmest is the key to "accuracy" when all the above is heeded/understood. Loading OCW is the path that takes you there.
