[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1695884, member: 21524"] Shoot groups at 500. You might be surprised. A 0.1 MOA group doesn’t mean squat at 100 if the ES is like 100. If it shoots 0.5 MOA and your ES over 10 shots is less than 30 it should hold together way out there. Also, something that shoots 0.25-0.5MOA is just fine. The utility of chasing anything less is trivial from a pragmatic standpoint, and just burns up your barrel, bullets, powder, and time. Honestly I don’t even shoot groups at 100 anymore other than just to zero an optic. I usually shoot loads over the Magneto speed, look for a pressure/velocity node(s), and then shoot them at 500. Tightest group wins. The bullet and targets never lie, and those loads are solid. [/QUOTE]
