I figure a good start would be 2 moa at 100 with a string of 5. This would be inital and once I can maintain it reduce. That shouldn't be terribly hard to achieve until applied across multiple molds. As a point of learning, I don't know if it would be more helpful to focus on one or bring all in a group to that standard. I'm also guessing a gas checked design would be easier to meet initial expectations with.
I imagine some molds/rifles are never going to get there but I have cheap Lee molds that will do that with rifles that also shoot well, even without gas checks. I get better results with hi tek coating than powder coat but that could be application methods and I made a shift in focus, following results.
As a point of learning, you could have an endless project. Ultimately I too believe a gas checked bullet will give you the best results as the base of the bullet is the most important part but 2” @ 100 yards is a lot different than 12” @ 600 in this regard.
