[QUOTE="paphil, post: 524356, member: 17745"] I guess a lot of shooting is not required to be a gunsmith ! Unless the bullet does not stabalize , (too slow of a twist for the bullet) the groups should be stable at that sub MOA all the way out. I've seen some bullets that shoot a little better out past 100 yards than they do at 100 and that has been explained to me that the initial wobble stabalizes and the bullet flys smoother after that. Outside of poor quality bullets, the environment is about the only cause to open the groups. Also the shooters ability to see the bullseye and pull the trigger consistently can affect group size. I've got two guns that shot about 1 1/2 minute untill I went to shooting school and then they shot .75 at 100 ! The gun didn't change , I did. Some people don't understand MOA and think it is 1 inch all the way out. Remember that it is an angle and gets larger with distance. 1 inch at 100, 2 inches at 200, 5 at 500 and 10 at 1000. If your gun shoots 1 inch at 100 , you should reasonably expect 3 inches at 300. Can't answer your question on how to start a new thread, I'm sure someone else will ! [/QUOTE]
