The more I learn about reloading the more $$$ I spend on this "healthy" 
addiction. Goodies like bullet comparators, runout gauges, headspace gauges, competition bullet seater & shoulder bump dies, competition shellholders and digital scales good to +/- .05 grains. It seems like if something can be measured, it will!
I have 3 calibers (22-250, 243, 270) that all shoot 0.5 MOA out to 200m with loads I've developed using good ol' Lee products-that was easy. They open a little at 300m but that could be me too, still < 1 MOA.
Is there any point in going the distance for a SAAMI specified chamber and factory barrels on LR (say 500 m) hunting rifle? I've been reloading about a year, so am wondering if it's "normal"
to spend $100s on higher end reloading goodies? What do the veterans say?
