[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 430132, member: 2740"] We've had the discussion about smaller moa groups at longer ranges many times here on LRH. Kirby used a good example in his earlier post. Notice that he never said that the actual measurement of the groups in inches got smaller as the distance increased. Merely that they didn't get much bigger, hence the smaller moa. This makes perfect sense with the "going to sleep" theory on long bullets. On the other hand, when somebody claims that their rifle shoots 2 inch groups at 100 yards and 1 inch groups at 300 yards, that is where I call "bull". That is not physically possible assuming shooter error is eliminated. What Kirby describes doesn't violate any laws of physics. Thanks for the input as always, Kirby.:D [/QUOTE]
