[QUOTE="Hoppsing55, post: 2235223, member: 91210"] Your question references " hunter/plinker and hunter and casual shooter" If you are already, and with confidence and repeatably, shooting 1MOA or less, then you can likely and humanely harvest game at distances allowable, per the energy produced by a chosen cartidge. For example, a "big elk" has a kill zone of approx 15"or more. At 600 yds - 1 moa = 6+". 2 moa = 12+". Know your equipment, hold over & drift, how to correctly read wind, and personal capacity, and you have the making's of an ethical successful hunter. Plinker & casual shooter, are in the eye of the beholder. But I get the "crack whore" thing. And have plenty of "gadgets" that I do not use, cluttering up my reloading bench!!! I think 3 things make for a better shooter, good practice, good practice and ahhh, oh yes, Good Practice. For me, satisfaction around shooting comes from making, by tweeking, modifying,,,, good quality factory rilfes shoot "accuratley". I have some factory rifles that started out shooting 1" - 2" moa, now shooting .375" moa or less. It was not the relaoding gadgets that got those rilfes to shoot, it was what I was able to do, by understanding the dynamics of loading, what I could improve - correct on the rifle itself, correctly reading wind,,,,, and my ability to put it all together.
