Answer
Hello Bryan.
 There are other aspects you need to consider in long range shooting. One is the type of ammunition you will use. Most of the factory ammo is loaded in lots. No two lots are exactly the same. That is why you should consider reloading. It may take alot of experimenting to find the right load for your rifle, but you will enjoy developing that load.
