[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 678025, member: 10291"] If you are consistently shooting less than 1 MOA at 400 yards with your factory loads, from a ammo standpoint your should be able to hold that level out to 600 yards. I don't think under the circumstances, reloading, or bedding is your issue. If they were, you would see the effects at 400 yards with larger group size. It is possible that your issue could be shooting form, or scope dynamics. I don't know how fine your crosshair is but with a 12 power and a heavy crosshair it will be more difficult to hold 1 MOA groups as the range increases and the sight picture changes. As stated by emn83 in the prior post, wind/mirage will also have a more significant effect at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
