[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 554932, member: 10291"] I agree fully. Several years ago I started competing in Egg Shoots which at first seemed kind of hokey. Try hitting 15 eggs with 15 shots at 300 yards with any rifle in the wind and you get a very different perspective. As in hunting, you have no paper to judge your miss. I compete in the hunting class using rifles that have the same characteristics as the rifles I use for LR, many times the same rifle. Your rifle had better produce a group at least the size of an egg at the range your shooting at or you have no chance at all of placing. At 300 yards that is sub .5 moa. For me, this sport has done more to improving my reloading, shooting, and wind doping skills than anything else I have ever done in the way of practice and has made me a much better LR hunter.
