That's quite good considering the price difference. But you do need to spend the time batching them in to same weight loads. Tolerance +/- 0.1grain
If competing you need to ensure you have enough of the same batch for practice, the match and a few spares. All the odd rounds or small batches are kept for fun shoot's or mates that want to try out the rifle.
With the SMK it's load it and shoot it. There weight variation is minimal.
However both types need some experimenting with powder and load to get the best results.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I have never thought about it since the accuracy was ok and I keep shooting different rifles each time, so I never really get to tighten up to the extremes.
Lately I started using the same rifle for a few times and have seen the improvements in my results immediately, so I guess I'll be able to see and feel the difference selecting the bullets by weight.
Reloading is just so much fun!
