"So much for the Match rule, huh?"

Yep. I've been reloading since '65, have been told a lot of stuff by self styled "experts." Some of it's been true. Not a lot, but some. None of us honestly has a clue why some things do or don't work in ANY RIFLE; those who say they do will likely lie about other stuff too.

I've learned the best "match rule" for BS filtering is how certain the guy is; the more certain he is that his limited view is the only one, the more likely he's wrong. In fact, common sense gives us a clue; the more silly any such revelation sounds, the less likely it is to be true.
