10 Tips For Rifle Accuracy

10. Match the bullet to the rifle

Not every gun is going to shoot every bullet weight or type accurately. Bullet shape, weight, and design will vary from maker to maker. What shoots well in one rifle may not be accurate in another gun. If you’re not happy with one brand, try another and another until you find one that wrings the best accuracy out of your rifle. If you still can’t achieve the accuracy you want, it may be time to re-barrel or get a new rifle. Like bullet designs, rifle designs have improved to the point many rife makers guarantee 1” MOA straight out of the box. With the proper ammunition, many shooters achieve ½” MOA or better.
