[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 1727563, member: 101262"] Show us some of your 100 yard groups if you have any on hand. Any factory ammo holding moa at 500 is pretty dang good. Also, unless conditions are perfect you can easily have quite a bit of variance in group size just because of the conditions. Moa is just fine for a hunting gun at these ranges. Once you fine tune a hand load you'll probably shrink those down a decent amount and potentially give you a little more effective range but that's when the conditions will drastically change your first round impacts. Out to 500 isn't too bad but between 500-1000+ takes alot of time and money spent in bullets, powders and barrels to get good enough for first round hits and clean kills. [/QUOTE]
