[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 189550, member: 4191"] [b]Wasn't all for naught[/b] GG, Thanks for the informative posts and taking the time to share some of those quoted references. I myself have always wondered how people could write about their rifles shooting tighter groups at longer distances than at closer ranges. But now I understand that they were probably refering to a lesser MOA at longer ranges than absolute group measurements, and that would be plausible. I have to admit I haven't seen it yet myself, but I haven't shot a lot of different rifles and loads out past 600 yards yet. There aren't [U]any[/U] long range gun ranges around here. And the majority of the land is National Wildlife Refuge where target shooting is prohibited and Federal Law Enforcement officers will issue citations. Weda, I was waiting for you or someone else to post some legitimate references countering GG's information, but there hasn't been any, other than people stating that they don't think it's possible due to the laws of physics (randomness theories). So I haven't seen it yet either but now that I understand the claim to be lower MOA rather than smaller measured group size, I no longer have a mental block accepting what is being said. If you've got some factual evidence to the contrary, I'd like to read it and you should post it. Otherwise I don't see where you have a reason to disagree with the evidence that's been posted - which describes bullet yaw, and how it can cause higher MOAs at short range and - low and behold - after the bullet yaw has deminished, lesser MOAs at long range.
