re: 10-shot groups to test rifle/load accuracy.

I think 1 MOA is doable without too much more. The action is great now after getting some use, seems the magazine has a break-in period too as it was feeding very smoothly with very little effort. Barrel didn't collect anywhere near as much copper or powder residue as last time. Still looking into getting a Boyd stock though.
Oh, and the M1A hates brass. HATES it. I don't think I'll be reloading any of its brass back into it until I've had time to section a few pieces and take some measurements.

that doesn't cause you alarm?
pretty sure that would make me very concerned

So I'm not saying you won't get a 1MOA group out of that load, but aren't you still a ways from it? If you had a .8 group at 50 yards, that would be a 1.6 inch group at 100, correct? Shooting at 100 is likely to open up the group also. More time for wind effect and more difficult to aim as accurately. So I would think that group could be knocking on 2" at 100. Like you said, you still have seating depth and many other variables you can play with, so not saying you won't get there. My son in law bought a Ruger American in 3006 and he got 1.5" groups at 100 with off the shelf Monarch ammo. I was pretty impressed with the accuracy for the dollar ratio. He didn't have high dollar glass either. $150 Nikon in 3 x 9. I'm thinking about getting one for a drag around rifle. I love my guns but too many of them are almost too nice to take to the field without babying. I get tired of that. Good post. Thanks for all the info on how the RA is comimg along.
