Never argue with an idiot.
It gets hard for the by-standers to tell who's who..

We all need someone to talk to.

This forum is of great value. I can get very good information here and several opinions.
But some time you need/want someone to talk to where time can be taken to reflect
on a subject or for extended discovery of a subject.

If you spend much time on this forum the deep thinkers will become evident.
This is the one time where I'm not going to name names. I am deeply grateful
to friends who have taken the time to explore topics and gain the knowledge
they freely share with me.

I don't know about deep thinkers, but it quickly becomes evident who to read and take notice of what they are saying! Not just thinkers, but doers. Guys that have been there, done that. This is by far the most helpful site on the planet for loading/shooting advice.

"TUNING OUT HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL DISPERSION

Most of my shooting during the past several years has been in the wind free environment of the tunnel. One thing that continues to repeat with every gun, barrel and bullet combination I have worked with is that

horizontal dispersion results from bullets being seated too far into the lands

vertical dispersion is the result of the powder charge being either too hot or too light.

Daryl Loker told me years ago that you tune out horizontal with neck tension and bullet seating depth,

tune the vertical out with the load. (Or in recent years since the advent of tuners, with the tuner.)

I assure you, if I put my standard load of powder in and seat the bullets on hard jam, I'll have two bullet holes of built in horizontal, and that's in a tunnel with no wind!

Pushing bullets back into the case .005 at a time, and the horizontal will disappear just when the bullets come off the lands or just kissing.

You might as well keep this to yourself after you see it with your own eyes because no one will believe you if you try to tell them; it goes completely against conventional wisdom.
