[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1090466, member: 75779"] How accurate do you need to be to be considered ethical or good enough? Here's the situation. I'm headed for my first elk hunt this fall during the 1st rifle season. I've been practicing longer ranges than I normally shoot for whitetails. Right now I can regularly shoot 3" groups at 300m. Still tweaking my handloads, but what should I be trying to hit or what is acceptable. In other words, what group size determines my maximum limit (8" or 10"?). I plan on becoming proficient out to 500m by the time the hunt starts. My gun is 300 win with 200gr accubonds traveling 3031 fps, so I know the KE is sufficient to a lot further than I'm willing to shoot. BTW RL 23 is showing a lot of promise, but so is h1000 and RL 22.
