I think you've got it about right Grouse. And I agree with Lee on both points- I find Harvester sabots more consistent, and I've become a believer in indexing. With respect to loading pressure, I've recently become a real fan of having an adjustablestop collar on the loading rod. Set itupon loading the first bullet andevery other bullet will beloaded to the same point with the same pressure on the charge.

As far as shooter error goes, that's a whole can of worms in itself. Any number of things can bite you on the butt - trigger control, sight picture, follow through, and FLINCH are some.The one I find more likely to screw up mygroups than anything elseis my grip on the gun. I find it awfully difficult to maintain the same hold on the gun through a five-shot string. All you have to do is put a death grip on the gun for one shot and you are guaranteed that shot will be out of group.
