Want long range bolt action rifle - thoughts or recommendations?

Wrote the man with a run-out gauge. LOL

I like accuracy. I use the concentricity gauge for initial die set-up. Most all of my loads are at or under .003" TIR. I don't use fancy dies either. Just make sure they are set right from the get go and you are golden. I do this with every cartridge I load for. Again it requires no extra work. LOL . For my requirements and accurate ammo, this is a must have tool.

Totally agree, and I also agree with what you wrote earlier about being able to know what is best -and, cannot go wrong with a Tikka.
I use a gauge block and roll the cartridge on it. You can clearly see the oscillation of 0.003" as it rolls.

It's a good way to tell if your dies are square.
