TS is absolutely correct, top gun will not make you a good shooter, but it will prevent a good shooter from shooting rat shit in a dresser drawer.

Handloading is all about consistency.

Many very good points, LR! As a handloader for many years I do understand all dynamics and consistency problems of loading many 06, 243 and now 5.56 ammo.
I also load my own 45 Auto, 45 LC ammo. I enjoy this port, sometimes get a little frustrated over the shooting ie bullets don't hit the target consistently in a group. I've learned guns sometimes don't like a particular powder or bullet to be accurate for me.
Also after replacement of 06 barrel with a Douglas XX Premium barrel, Bell & Carelson Stock that is bedded there is still some inconsistency. After a few phone calls to Douglas I found more of the science of barrel whip or vibration.

From this I gather that each gun has it's own 'sweet spot' for ammo that is being shot. Being a hand loader it takes a number of trips to the range.
