[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 98936, member: 2740"] Bart B, I opened this particular can of worms a month or two back and ruffled some feathers unintentionally. While I don't buy the fact that a rifle will shoot smaller groups (aboslute measurement, not moa) at longer distances, the moa thing might be plausible comparing 100 to 200 yd groups(maybe farther, I don't know). The explanation I got was that long for caliber bullets may not be sufficiently stabilized at short distance due to the fact that they spin around center of form in the barrel and then try to spin around the center of mass after they leave the barrel, thus causing the bullet to oscillate around the tip until it begins to spin around the center of mass. This is a very simplified explanation, but hopefully it makes sense.
