  2. To me a Low SD indicates that you should minimise  vertical dispersion at range because most of your shots are around the same MV.

    Logically you would think that this tends to support tight groupings but anecdotal evidence varies.

    Once beyond close range grouping all sort of issues can start dispersion which queers long range grouping.

    Quirky winds,  bullet no longer supersonic, mirage, not getting atmospherics rignt, ... a long list!

    Either way a low SD (<10) is obviously desirable.

  3. Lapua brass often comes with tighter necks than you mignt want.

    A suitable expander mandrel fixes this easily and quickly as well as being useful to fix any dents in the neck from shipping.

    Its good practice to include this in post-fired reloading processes.

    The above does not imply any need to completely resize new brass unless you are extremely 'picky'.

  4. 308 18" barrel in an MDT HNT26 works for me.

    I had a 26" 260 rem plus mod....way too long for comfort in the field as much as I prefer the 260 as a calibre.

    I am using Hornady 165g SST as they were all that I could get at the time.

    These are running at 2595 fps and are .5 moa or less.

    I use N140 in a very long COAL of almost 2.9" which JUST fits in the MDT 3 round mag.
