[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2030377, member: 75779"] Sorry I'm a little late to the party. This line of logic - 1MOA @100 = 1MOA@800- is the problem. A 1" group at 100 almost never equals a 8" group at 800. This is arguably the biggest mistake newer shooters make. IMO 2 things show up at longer ranges - shooter error + quality of loaded cartridge. At 100, you can get away a ton of error and still shoot a decent group. At long distance this all gets magnified. I've seen sub moa groups at 100 go to more than 2" at 200. I've also seen 1-1.25" groups at 100 shoot sub 2" groups at 300. If you want a legit 5-800 yard 30 cal, any of the magnums will work (even the old school 300 wm with a 215 Berger😉). If you want to thump them hard, move up to the 338 rum, 33 nosler 338 lapua/edge. [/QUOTE]
