The 50 BMG at 1,000 yd BR:
"This is a good place for us to dispel the first "inaccurate" rumor regarding the 50. The smallest five (5) shot group ever recorded in a 50 BMG competition was shot by Lee Rasumssen and measured 1.9557 inches (0.187 MOA). This certainly is not my definition of "spray and pray", but it is going to take more than one tight group to dispel this deeply rooted perception. Perhaps you are asking yourself, "was that just an anomaly or is that type of accuracy repeatable"? Maybe Patrick Bieck can answer that question for us, but I think he already did. In August of 2014, Patrick shot a slightly larger group, one that measured 2.045 inches (0.195 MOA). Keep in mind, these are not 3 shot groups fired from a few hundred yards away. Each record group fired in an FCSA sanctioned match consists of 5 rounds fired from a distance of 1,000 yards."
Typically good 50 BMG 5 shot groups at 1,000 yds run in the 4"-8" range.
