[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1881768, member: 91783"] Ohlongarm , I also say shot placement is the key . My old model 70 in 223 holds 1/2 groups at 100 yards and drops 2 feet at 550 yards with my loads . Upward or down angles it's shooting higher but I've put a lot of rounds down range to get used to it so I know where it will hit in most conditions that I shoot in , like you yes shooting is the way to go for knowing you and your rifle , learning how to deal with stress when one comes in to you so you don't get buck fever is also key . You are L.E. so you know about the stress management part of shooting . I think that a lot of people don't realize they may pull or push their shots when they have a frontal shot that wouldn't make much difference on a broad side shot as it is a wider target so two inch's side to side will still be a kill shot . I really don't recommend that anyone get into a couple of firefights to learn how to manage stress when hunting and you get a shot but I think a lot of people need help with that part of hunting as in the few moments of calling when one comes in people may not realize how excited they become or how much they are rushing their shot by not knowing they are excited .
