[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 638684, member: 5302"] Interesting, but not impressive. All his other groups were larger. The accuracy he can count on all the time is the size of his largest group. But maybe his largest one's so big he doesn't want to remember nor talk about it. Like all the benchrest records, it's just statistical luck. All the others are larger. Should he shoot several hundred 5-shot groups, one of 'em may well be only .6 inch. I've put 5 consecutive shots into about an inch at 1000 with aperture sights laying on my belly slung up prone. But there's no way I'm gonna claim that rifle and its ammo shoots 1/10th MOA at 1000. They're about a 6/10ths MOA combination at that range. The long range benchrest rifles are not any better; check the size of the largest group of several comprising an aggregate record, if you can find out how really big it is. Like the young ballistics engineer at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant said after looking at a 200+ shot 600 yard group of 7.62 NATO match ammo: "Wow, look at all those half-inch 5-shot groups!!!" His seasoned mentor replied saying: "Yes, they look great. Too bad they're not all centered at the same place atop one another." [/QUOTE]
