[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 683796, member: 10"] This is a good example of us being HUMAN!!! That first shot placement would LIKELY get the job done on anything larger then a mature deer but looking at your group, your shooting quite well, just the 3/4 moa off on windage. Had you NAILED the windage you would have been all over it. This is THE reason that I designed the Allen Magnums. Its simply IMPOSSIBLE in most conditions to nail the conditions exactly. Only being off by 3/4 moa at 1K is not all that bad, in fact its pretty good!!! Extreme performance rounds just give you more of a margin of error when you do not get the conditions dead on the money. Now the key is to know when the conditions are pushing the limits of your rifle/load combo at the range your shooting. That can be the most critical and often most overlooked aspect of long range hunting. Practical Field Practice shooting is also great for teaching you your limits as well and that is a very good thing to learn before you go to the field. Good shooting, nothing at all wrong with that group at +1K. [/QUOTE]
