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

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.

That was just one by-the-book test load and 10 shots with no cool down. The first 3 shots went though space barely bigger than one of the small squares which is kind of why I did 10 shots. I'm making several more test loads tonight along with trying H4895 to see if a slightly faster powder might help. I using a 4-12x40 ProStaff so even 100yds is plenty close with my vision.
