Customer Accuracy Expectations

What are the current accuracy expectations from a custom rifle group-wise at
50 Yards
100 yards
200 yards
Anything past would be great but we know the wind will play a huge role past 200.
Ten shot groups as a standard. Wind plays a role at 50, a huge role at 100 and more huge beyond. (At 100 a mere 1 mph cross wind will move a bullet about .35".)

At 50 a custom rifle should do sub-.300 (ctc) with good ammo and conditions accounted for.

At 100 a custom should do sub-.900 with good ammo under consistently favorable conditions. With wind unaccounted for all bets are off.

Shoulder Bump: 1.556" feels perfect – still size to 1.554"?

Everyone has given good advice.

Normally I would ask what does the target look like, but it seems you haven't gotten that far with your handloads.

I have gone to the effort of pulling my firing pin and ejector (when able to) and I have moved on from that. I just measure 5 fired cases now, and go from there. My measurements from incrementally sizing a case to get my bolt drop freely to just measuring 5 cases and subtracting. 002", is close enough for me.

I enjoy tinkering and did not consider it a waste of my time, but the target was never going to show a difference in my experience. Not that it matters, but I dabbled in some 600 yard benchrest, have some very nice accurate rifles built for benchrest, and unknown amounts of expensive reloading equipment. I just haven't found shoulder bump to be one of the deciding factors in extreme accuracy as long as you don't try to get silly.

That doesn't mean I over size my cases, I just don't consider .002" to .003" shoulder bump to matter to me. What matters to me is whether all cases chamber without any drama. Everyone one of my rifles has a FL sizing die set up for it because I hate money and am probably OCD where guns are involved....

Lying through their teeth about the clot shot.

Senate testimony about the clot shot is going on. The first guy i saw was talking about how scientists and public health officials were very forthwith about the potential dangers of the jab, and that claiming there was cover up of dangerous side effects was not true.

Then the next guy starts in about how many lives the COVID jabs saved by reducing the severity of disease. And how Trumps cuts are going to effect vaccine safety.

So not only will nobody be hanged for it, if we let them sort it out. We are going to have to listen to a bunch of bloviating retards, retell all the lies from 2020-2023 as though they haven't been proven false.

"The clinical data shows the shots reduced the severity of disease."

"The shots were safe and effective."
I think these humans have become incapable of intelligent thought. Or they are all pedos being blackmailed.

from what I know about this, make sure you do all the rehab that is the key to success. Everyone I have met that bitched did not follow the rehab schedule. Too much time, pain, money, make sure you do it.

Anyone tough enough to livecwith thevknee i had, is tough enough to do the rehab.
We are already discovering i hav3 to completely relearn how to walk...litwrally.
The knee was so bad i no longee know how to walk proper. Its woerd.

Chinese Acrobatics By a DA To Not Bring Charges

Deputy leaves his K9 partner in the patrol car while he is training. He knows that the AC doesn't work and the vehicle doesn't have a heat warning but does it anyway. He returned to the patrol car to find the dog dead.
If you assault a K9 cop there's special charges for you but they dug deep to use the Hillary defense. He didn't intend to commit the crime!! So it's all good and the taxpayers can choke up another $20K for another dog. The statement by the sheriff is truly a whitewashing of the the whole thing.
I'm going to use the "I didn't intend to speed" defense!! It's good enough for this scumbag and the skank Hillary so federal and state level are setting the precedent. Ohh wait, I ain't one of the King's men.

The deputy would do the same for a human suspect I guess. Back the blue.

Customer Accuracy Expectations

To obtain a fairly accurate calculation of spread
based on results at 50 yards: double the distance gives triple the spread.

So 0.2 at 50 yards, expect 0.6 at 100 yards
and 1.8 inches at 200 yards for 5 consecutive shots.

With 0.4 inches at 50 yards, 1.2 inches at 100 yards
and 3.6 inches at 200 yards under optimum conditions.

Spread isn't a linear progression, it's geometric.
With ballistics it's a curve when plotted on a graph.
This is exactly what I see on paper. Of course the group size usually shrinks by 25-30% if the high/low “flyers” are ignored. The bulk of a group at 200 is often right around 2 1/2”. Mean radius to Center might be a more precise measurement.
