[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1850209, member: 28741"] I don't really get the "hunting rig" thing, as if you're not going to shoot but a couple of hundred rounds from a rifle you use to hunt. If you reload, you will go through *several* hundred rounds just experimenting with bullets and powders, not to mention brass and primers. Then there's the practicing at various distances and seeing how the wind affects the various bullets at various distances. Oh and then there's the different temperature conditions under which you have to test. Then there's the shooting positions and how that affects POI, prone vs standing vs siting. I dunno, maybe I overthink it but when you hunt, and often only have one shot, you need to practice a LOT to be sure of what's likely to happen when you finally get that real shot that counts. I don't own a "hunting rifle" that I haven't put well over 700 rounds through, and most of them over 1000 rounds, and they all still shoot 1 ragged hole @100 with the right loads. [/QUOTE]
