[QUOTE="NeoConShooter, post: 1728474, member: 28881"] I was never able to shoot groups that tight at those types of ranges as a civilian with any of three Rem 40-X rifles before I turned 18. While the lighter rifle would group at, or under 3/4" at 100, the groups opened up at 500 to around 5-6" but the two big guns, a 6.5/.300 and a .30/378 shot into less than an inch at 100 and >6" at 500. They both shot into a foot or less at 1000 yards. In the ASA I used an M-21, or M-24 bolt gun with LCM issue 7.62X51 NATO match ammo. IIRC, it used a 172 grain bullet at about 2600 FPS. I favored the -21 with the standard 147 grain bullet at 2810 FPS because it was much easier to get hits at ranges well under 500 yards/meters most of the time. While my new gun used to put 5 Berger 190 VLDs into under an inch at 100, the best I have done in the last twenty years is a schooch under 4" at 500 meters for four out of five shots. [/QUOTE]
