[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2296073, member: 1656"] I think what he's getting at is saying you can hit a sub-1/2MOA target at 1000yds with implied regularity...>50%? exceeds the performance of purpose-built target rifles on purpose-built rests shot by shooters who specialize in doing exactly that. Fine if you hit them once in awhile, but claiming a factory rifle would hit a clay >50% of the time, over a significant number of shots, likely from a bipod or sandbag, at 1000yds simply defies belief. I'd look at what bullets have the lowest expansion velocity in the 500-700 yard range. I don't know which ones but there are some. At ranges beyond that, if you care about the expansion envelope of the bullet (and you should), you will likely be looking for a bigger chambering. [/QUOTE]
