It doesn't matter who.I observed some tight groups with a flier completely off the paper.It happened quite a few times.It was IVI.It could have been other factors possibly...maybe bedding perhaps.Just an observation.

I find it hard to believe the testers of the ammo in the guns they made wouldn't weigh the bullets before shooting them since they're not using their own ammo. Personally, if my hand made gun was on the line, and I had to use someone elses ammo, I'd be weighing the ammo prior to sending bullets down range. I've found Federal 168gr Match out of the box well worth weighing because on average, there were 2-4 bullets out of a box of 20 that varied by 1-2gr. That might meet Match ammo standards but if there is a chance of having a flier, it's going to be with one of those bullets I think.
Personally, I weigh my powder down to 100th of a grain. If it makes a difference or not, spychologically it makes me confident that if all of my components are equal in weight, it boils my accuracy down to ME.

HaHaHa, they claim 250 gr. at 2840 fps = 8185 ft./lbs. ???? Try 4476 ft./lbs. Those guys are out to lunch.
No, but most respectable ones, set a standard and spot check to assure quality. In the case of RUAG, the British, German and Australian armies all conducted lengthy trials. None found any mysterious fliers in any of the equipment they used.
I assume that our Army sets standards, but I am not sure of their testing protocols.
Try The Shooting Edge in Calgary. They had at least one in their store the last time I was there.
Personally, I look at buying a gun from someone that can actually offer advice and some form of teaching rather then just selling me the gun with absolutely zero knowledge of the firearm. I think the owner of the shooting edge is quite knowledgeable with real world experience but some of the guys behind the counter say a lot and make themselves look incredibly stupid. Same with Wholesale for that matter. Some guys do actually know what they're talking about and there is something to be learnt but others, you've just got to shake your head. I'm in sales as well and if I don't know something, I'm the first to admit it because there's no harm in that at least.
Agreed, when I bought my first gun there, the owner showed me how to completely tear it down for cleaning, what to watch for during break in, his experiences with what type of ammo would be best suited for it, ect, it was all in all a great buying experience, I had done my research on the firearm, but nothing beats real world knowledge that you just can't get from a gun magazine review. Theres much closer gun shops to me, but that hasn't stopped me from going back to the shooting edge time and time again.
