[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 306228, member: 8927"] Mikecr has a good point. There is no point shooting a really small group if it is way off your aiming point. How many times do you expect to shoot the animal you are aiming at? I would imagine it is only once. Your accuracy range should be the range that you can consistently put your first round into your selected kill zone. Might be something like 8" wide by 12" high. You might make this bigger or smaller depending on what you are hunting. Your 0.7 MOA at 725 should put every round into this kill area, but can you do it first shot or do you need to make some adjustments after the first shot? Put up a target the size of the kill zone you are working with and keep moving back until you cannot hit it consistently with your first cold bore shot. Then you have found the range you can shoot to accurately. Stu. [/QUOTE]
