[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1112296, member: 30671"] A true 0.5" guarantee is very useful, much more descriptive than "tack driver" or "shoots lights out". It's the first step in objective communication between the builder, and the customer. Knowing I have a rifle/load combo that makes the 0.5" club, eliminates excuses, and challenges me to get better. It sets up a situation where I can work on my weaknesses in a constructive fashion. I'm challenged at the range to stay under 0.75" these days. Most groups go 0.6-0.9" even with the rifles I beat the 0.5" mark with on occasion. Putting in time to make that mark helps one regardless of the range. I saw a number (Litz I think) that maintained using a 10" plate at 1000 yards, the difference between a rifle capable of 0.1" and one that shot 1" groups was only about 1%. Statistical analysis-numbers I don't understand, and likely neither does Petzal or he would use them rather than hyperbole, and defamation. I usually only read Petzal in the Dr's office, and consider him much less useful than a 0.5" rifle. [/QUOTE]
