[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 975759, member: 6452"] I quit shooting groups outside initial load development. I set up 2MOA gongs and try to hit towards the center of them from field positions. Put a 4" at 200, 8" at 400 and a 12" at 600. Take a few shots at each then pick up and move 50-100 yards, try to get a different angle wind and shoot em again. If I can keep them consistanly inside a 2MOA plate I know I am good enough for hunting at least out to 600-700 yards. The guns and bullets I shoot for the animals I hunt that is good enough. I think practicing the ranging, set up and adjusting to the next target is often missed practice for a hunter. By shooting same target from different wind angles (moving around the clock like skeet shooting) it really helps exaggerate the subtleties of wind too. [/QUOTE]
