His question was so nonspecific and open ended, that it could take a week to write down EVERYTHING relating to accuracy.
It is like saying, "I am a new driver, can you tell me how to make my car faster and corner better?" What car, a VW or a Mustang?? Can you even drive well??
The OP asks...
"I am a novice reloader and have loaded for 223/243 and 270. I have many of the recommended powder for loading these as well as various bullets. My question are mainly what method do you use to get to the optimal accuracy for a rifle."
Well, WHAT RIFLE?? A break open clunker, or a top of the line heavy barreled varmint rifle.
What groups is he getting - 3" at 100, or 0.3" at 100 - there are totally different suggestions for either case.
Is the rifle glass bedded, has he done the trigger, etc....
And what is his loading skill - he said nothing. What loading dies is he using - old Lyman dies, or Redding Comp dies - he said nothing.
There are a thousand suggestions, If you have no ground work laid and no place to start from.
So he is asking for everything, and that is a book.
And, after asking the question, he has run off and abandoned the thread.
If I wanted to write a book, I'd put covers on it and sell it.
