Rifle Recommendations

If we are talking Accuracy (this is my opinion).

 

It is 50% on the person behind the gun, 25% the gun, and 25% the cartridge system.

 

When I develop a load I first find my max OAL, then back it off a few thousandths for a given projectile.  Then I use bench rest primers, and 3 different powder loads.  In the Sako usually you will have one group around 1/2" at 100 yards.  Take that load and chronograph it.  I then order a custom turret for that cartridge and install it on the scope.  Basically my 300 win is zeroed at 100, my lapua is zeroed at 200.  I have shot out to 800 with both and can hit milk jugs all day long.  Once you have played out to these distances if you ever have to jump off a horse to shoot a 370 bull at 400 yards that has you pegged it will be a chip shot.  This happened to me a few years back. I didn't have time to range him but knew the gun and I knew the shot.

It seems you may need some guidance. If you need any loading or shooting advice, let me know.

Like I said this is my opinion. All of my rifles shoot .375 at 100 yards and they are commercial off the shelf guns. Please post your advice here.

When I talked to Jay he was talking about developing his own load. This could be a good match as far as setting him up.
