[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 11667, member: 1521"] I'd say it's pretty easy. Shoot at something & if you miss, move closer til you hit it. Thats your max range. I recently checked a rifle in .223cal(40grVmax). Fired on a 6" bull, cold barrel, at various ranges and conditions, over a two week period. This was a factory rifle with a decent load worked up, out to 300yds. It would group under .3moa consistantly at my range, while warmed up, but everything changes in the real world. In the field(literally,lying,off a bipod), I found that I could consistantly hit the bull still, out to 300, shooting single cold barrel shots. But the real world groups at this range were just under 1moa. And at 350, forget it. All over the paper. My call on this is that it's a 300yd rifle. Those tiny little groups at the range: Hell, you can train a monkey to drive a clown car around a circus tent. But let's see him drive to Baltimore. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
