[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1235433, member: 4191"] The accuracy available to large game hunters today really does beg the question of how good is good enough. I transitioned from fighting to eek out the best accuracy I can get from my rifles, to being completely satisfied at 0.5 to 0.7 moa for my hunting needs, over the past 4 years. That's accuracy that's 1/2 to 1/3 the poorer accuracy that was commonly experienced from factory rifles when I started shooting and reloading in the late 60s early 70s. Some hunters may need 0.4moa. Some might need 0.25moa if they have lots of opportunity for shots some distance past 1000yds. Or if they simply enjoy shooting rocks at extreme ranges. I enjoy hunting more than I do fighting a load/rifle to get a group down from 0.6 moa to 0.5 moa. Especially with the 30 and 338 magnums I commonly hunt with. Once I reach acceptable accuracy for my hunting needs, I am way more interested in consistent and reliable point of impacts. I despise a rifle that has to be re-zeroed very often, when I test POI prior to to heading out on a hunt. [/QUOTE]
