[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1720493, member: 2736"] Keep in mind guys, that a bullet has no brain and cannot correct for error. A good bullet can stabilize and not get much worse at some point (Some call this going to sleep) But if the load is 1 MOA at 100 yards it will rarely stay at 1 MOA if ever. I always figure if I want a 1 MOA group @ 300 yards I have to get 1/2 MOA at 100 yards to have a chance to stay under 3" at 300 yards. With 1/4 MOA accuracy I can expect 1 to 2" groups or better at 300 yards. Most long range rigs need to shoot 1/2 MOA maximum. I consider a 1/2 MOA or better as a starting point for our sport. If you have good shooting skills, On good days you should expect to hold the group size very close to the MOA of the rifle. The best rifle in the world. can't make up for human error so get the rifle shooting as good as it can @ 100 yards and try to develop your skills so you can take advantage of the rifles accuracy at any distance.
