[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1599876, member: 93846"] I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss sub-MOA groups from a big bore. The Winchester M70 Safari in 416 Rem Mag I referred to in my previous post most assuredly shoots 100 yard sub-MOA 3 round groups off the bench, very consistently. There are often clover-leaf groups. I usually shoot ten groups of three on most range trips with this rifle and have yet to have had over two groups larger than MOA in a single outting, with the factory load mentioned above. The occasional group that does go over MOA, is closer to MOA than to 2 MOA. Of course I shoot each round with 30 to 60 seconds between, to manage barrel heat. I also let the rifle cool for at least 10 minutes or until the barrel is at ambient shade temperature, between groups. If you want to join me at the range and buy the ammunition, I'd be more than happy to demonstrate! I love that rifle and I love to shoot it! It shoots much better than any of my three 375 H&H Mags do. [/QUOTE]
