Whats a good typical 1000yd group?

[WEATHERBY460]

When shooting a 338 lapua, what would be a good group size at 1000 yards? Thanks

10" would be sub MOA. I think that would be good.

i would think anywher around 1/2 moa to 3/4 moa, so 5-8 inches would be a great group

I get under 4" with my savage at 1K Ryan

"Good" is extremely relative to the shooter, weapon/equipment, and conditions.

Anything under 1 MOA is good enough to get the job done 99% of the time.

Like Wildrose said. It's all relative.

Are you trying to compete in IBS, or F-Class?

Are you hunting Elk, Whitetail, Groundhogs?

Or, are you just plinking?

Consistent MOA at 1k is pretty good unless you're competing.

Sorry but I borrowed the footage! (Jeff) BROZ should be able to help, he was the spotter ... maybe he'll chime in.

Joe Starnes (one of the gunsmiths I go to) was the man behind the trigger, not me. My bad, I should have made that clear. I am nowhere near Jeff's and Joe's capabilities, esp. that small of a target ... perhaps some day.
