I’m a 1MOA shooter at best, at 100 yards. Took gun out to 800 yards few weeks ago and couldn’t ring the 1 MOA plate, but wore out the 2 MOA. I get lucky every now and again and pull off some stupid small group, and then I won’t see that for another 2-3 years.
So for me to think that I could hold 1/4 MOA out to 1000 yards without any type of rest is wishful thinking. Ammo was much of your problem. There are not too many mass produced boxes of ammo that will hit that 1 MOA plat at 800 yards. A hand-load on the other hand... True. I don’t have the money, time, or space to reload right now. I have thought about having Chad work up a load for me, but I also think it would be money wasted on a factory barrel  Not wasted on a factory barrel. Today, I hit that 1 MOA 800, with a factory barrel.............and a hand load.

If I was buying a new single stage I would look at they coax or maybe the t-7. If you had a small number of calibers your die would always be locked in
