[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 324524, member: 12"] Here are some interesting stats from the IBS 1000 yard National Championships held in Iowa on Labor Day weekend. To put this in perspective, these stats are "ONLY the top 20" of over 100 of the best 1k shooters with 17 lb light guns 20-42x scopes, 10-40 lb benchrests and 5 shot groups. Most are tight neck guns, with only .001-.0015 neck clearance, set up single shot with bullets soft seated in the lands in many cases. Bullets and cases sorted by weight, ogive, run on Juenkes etc. The heavy guns range from 30-100 lbs and 10 shot groups. So when you see the proverbial this hunting rifle off a bipod, "Shoots 1/4 MOA all day long", or " It holds 1/2 MOA at 1000!" take it with a grain of salt as most are in reality really posting "I shot this group one time, and therefore I am going to claim it it is always that, (before I have to shoot again)"! :D Remember these stats below are the top 20 of over a 100 of the best.
