[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 953220"] For decades the belief that I could do just that made me 'not bother' to take up long guns. I thought they were perfect machines with perfect ammo from the store so hitting a fly at 500 yards was an every day thing. Now that I am more educated - well, that's the thing of a Pandora's Box situation, once opened it can't be closed. The pursuit of accuracy and precision plus the 'making things that work well' as in my own customization and reloading is all consuming. Only had the chance once at 1000. Working with animals can be a serious disruption to attending matches or being at an appointed place and time for long range work. but 1/2 moa vertical dispersion at 1000 yards, as in 5" to me means the firearm and load is accurate. The rest, precision in point of impact, is up to me. For hunting, that 1/2 moa vertical means a 'well placed' shot with almost any caliber should have the desired effect. [/QUOTE]
