Addicting. Can be very frustrating but also immensely rewarding. I have a little model 7 that has always been a decent shooter but slowly was starting to struggle with accuracy and then fell completely off the wagon. 2 to 3" groups became the norm even with loads that had previously usually shot just under or just over MOA. And they weren't consistent groups. Flier's, strings, oval's, you name it.
After one by one addressing a couple of mechanical issues I thought I had found that might be either a major problem or at least a hindrance, I went to the range with a near max load that had previously been a good load, and after 2 fouling shots on a clean barrel it proceeded to print out its best ever group at 100yds measuring less than 3/8 of an inch and has been a performer ever since as long as the nut behind the trigger does his job. More fun than a barrel of monkey's when it all comes together.
