[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 599279, member: 10291"] Good post! I have been shooting eggs at long range for several years and still shoot about a dozen matches a year. At 300 yards, you won't compete unless the rifle shoots less than .5 MOA, preferably .25 MOA with a hot barrel, with total consistency. Not easy! I might differ some on you bullet choice view. Given an accurate load, the consistent winners have bullet, load combos that produce the best performance in the wind. On windy days the heavy for caliber, high BC bullet almost always takes the trophy. A while back I began deviating from the standard BR style rigs I did well with, and is the common set up at these shoots. Thought it would be great hunting practice using LR hunting style rigs with hunting weight triggers in the 2-3 pound range. In the beginning I shot like crap, but now after a lot of refinement in loads and skills, I have been able to compete well. It is excellent skill development practice for LR hunting. [/QUOTE]
