The if it's affordable part leaves a lot of the new stuff in serious question. At what point do we go from trying to win a match by actually shooting well enough to win the thing , to crossing over trying to buy a win?
Watch the temp either by thermometer or as Kurt suggested by color of the bullet, get a good casting routine and if you get over a 1gr spread on 150 bullets something is running amuck, and I'm not sure 150$ attachment to a 300$ casting pot will cure it.
These new gadgets are all well and good, but I'm not seeing the value in some of them yet.
AND FWIW I've spent enough hours horseback, or on open platform tractors, and the like in my lifetime that I'm not real sure that "we" aren't in worse condition now than when life was a lot more work, and not so many "gadgets" to rely on to even survive in this day and age.
