[QUOTE="Guest, post: 40786"] A whole year has gone by and some of us still have a difficult time with other people's guns shooting well off a bi-pod. Could have sworn that road has already been traveled. I have seen rifle after rifle shoot sub 1/3 MOA at 607 yards at our range in calm wind conditions. Now, on to something more useful..... The best way to determine a rifle's accuracy potential is to do it in a way that a valid statistical analysis can be made. The type of shooting/hunting will determine what is the most valid way to test your system. If you are hunting, group size is not as important as ACCURACY. Clean your rifle and foul it just as you would before a hunt. Let the rifle go totally cold. Shoot one shot. Do this 30 times and plot the vertical and horizontal deviation from your intended POI separately. You will now know more than any benchrester can tell you about the capability of your hunting rifle with you shooting it. If you are shooting in group size competitions, and you fire five shots for record, do this thirty times, and have someone like Dave King analyze your data. If you are shooting ten shot groups in competition, you will have to fire ten shot groups in a timely manner to get the heat management characteristics of your sytem as a valid influence in your tests. Despite what some claim, ten shot groups for analyzing a hunting or tactical rifle is RIDICULOUS!!! Unless it takes 10 shots to kill something, some of us should learn how to structure more valid tests that more closely approximate the actual usage/performance of a particular system. Having a clue about the proper use of statistics to analyze random variation would not hurt either. See you next year. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
