Seeing as how this is the competition thread I thought I'd note here we just had a new IBS 1000 yd. record set.
Mike Wilson using a 6mmBR Ack. shot a 1.068 group on the July 21, 2018.

That 5th shot had to be nerve wracking! (I know they always are for me when the first 4 are tight)

Actually, these long range group shooters don't even watch the group develop, they simply run the condition they choose to shoot and it's all over in about 10 seconds for 5 shots. This guy does look through the scope though...
Here is an example being demonstrated:

This is the one I was thinking about, 10 shots, 26 seconds:

Thanks for the info/insight. I've been doing it all wrong for 55+ years.
What you say makes sense considering the aim point is usually NOT the impact point.
Edit: I took no offence since I'm not a record shooter either. I meant I should give his 'technique' a try.

I wasn't saying that. I like to take my time and watch the group develop during conditions. I hate to have my day end in all of 5 - 26 seconds! I want to enjoy the whole process. But, I'm not a record setting shooter either!

It's not so unusual any more. The point blank benchrest folks often discuss exactly how much 'jam' they use when seating bullets for competition. The rest of us are left to our own devices because we're usually shooting a variety of bullets, all with potentially different shapes. Using a reamer with fixed dimensions will often force us to adjust our seating depth as we struggle with locating the accuracy node.
Barnes used to recommend starting load development as much as 0.050" off the lands. Nowadays we have wound up being 0.050" to 0.070" off the lands with some hunting loads depending on the shape of the bullets with regard to the angle of the throat and the length of the freebore.

I might add that this particular competition does not "spot" individual shots. Like early stages in NRA competition, this contest is shot in one string. You have to know where your group is landing when you get to the line. In later stages/shoot-offs in NRA, individual shots are marked one at a time.
So, as nn said, you pick your condition, adjust for wind, and let 'er fly for the whole string. The first objective of this shoot is about scoring. The group is a happy by-product of a well shot string.[:D]
