[QUOTE="Sauer 150, post: 656686, member: 47924"] Jeff, please do not be aprehensive. My point with the test is making sure everyone that tries anything like this in the field fully appreciate the difficulties involved and methiculous focus on every little detail needed to be succesful and be very humble to the fact that a 1k shot on a deer sized target is extremely challenging under field conditions And finding this out prior to season on steel, rather than on game is much better for all parties involved. From our cources I have seen even experianced shooters having a hard time keeping POI within 1/2 MOA from center shot from a field rest wether this is over a backpack, bipod and bean bag in a precise rifle cartridge combo. With some basic training and careful building a good shooting stance most can do 3/4MOA groups. To have some room for error on a deer sized target one needs to be a 1/2 MOA or better shot and quite frankly that kind of shooting skills does not come easy. Besides the actual shooting itself you need to factor in drift, drop under various conditions both temp and pressure, having a very consistent load with very low ES and last but not least you need to perform tests making sure the bullet of choice actually opens at the velocities it has passing the 1000y mark. It is not impossible - a lot of work and VERY challenging. [/QUOTE]
