[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1914868, member: 38048"] Tenths of an inch. You will typically only hear 1s 2s and 3s because it's BR talk and if your not in the 1s and 2s your not competitive. There is also 0s that are under a tenth. So if your rifle shoots consistent 1/4 inch groups it's a mid 2s shooter. On good weather days mid 2s will get you mid pack and below. But for hunting rifles mid 2s is pretty awesome. There are many members on here that shoot competitive BR matches and many like myself have shot many flavors of it. When I shot 1 and 2 hundred yard BR loading was easy. You don't have to be as careful with the little things. And 6ppc and 22ppc shorts shoot in the low 2s quite easily. It's a wind reading game. 1000 yard BR really is won on the loading bench. At 1000 is when all the brass prep and bullet sorting and super tuning all come in. Really for long range hunting you should be doing everything the 1000 yard BR guys are doing at the bench and tuning. The way I loaded ammo for 1 and 200 yard BR would shoot 20 inch groups at 1000. A well tuned and with proper ammo hunting rig can do 5 inch 3 shot groups or better if all is right. My old 300 win mag shot 208 a Max's into a 7 inch 10 shot group once it was tuned up and I expect better for my new 6.5saum. The 6.5 saum weighs 8.25 pounds all up. Should be interesting.
