[QUOTE="Russmann, post: 1631771, member: 110058"] Hello everyone.. So yes I am novice when it comes to LR shooting, but also dont consider 200 and 300m's that far either.. I have a Howa 1500 HCR with a bull barrel, with a Leupold 6.5-20x50 scope.. I find I battle to hit the same area within 1 or 2 Moa consistency.. Although I am not brilliant at shooting, I am also not a total idiot when it comes to breathing, holding still, handing recoil and so on, and feel i should be more accurate than I am, so, here the questions I dont seem to be able to get straight answers with :- 1. Will changing my type of Amo help... with a Hornady be more accurate than a PMP or more than one or the other... and does anyone have any suggestion on which is the better make for this particular setup? 2. If I zero my scope at 100m's and then shoot 200m's, the difference is around 4 MOA, which is 4 inches right??? and my gun shop tells me the Leupold is 4 clicks per 1 MOA.. which means, 4 X 4 MOA is 16 clicks to adjust for the height. But I find its more like 23-25 clicks using the same 168gm round?? why? 3. How many shots at a time, can the rifle fire accurately before I need to let the barrel cool down. Half the people I chat to tell me 5 shots, wait 15 minutes, the other half tell me "its a bull barrel, makes no difference".. Appreciate your advice to a starter shooter Thanks all [/QUOTE]
