[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1873487, member: 110477"] It seems like this thread has ran a bit off topic for some (shocking, right). My criticism had nothing to do with shooting big game at 1,000+ yards or practical sized targets. I've ran 5 for 5 on 1 MOA plates with factory ammo several times out to 1,000 yards. Ran my 20" 308 to 1,000 yards with factory ammo. Got hits at 1,400 yards with factory ammo on a 2/3 sized IPSC plenty of times. Shooting a 12" target at 1,000+ yards is absolutely doable for a lot of guys. Getting hits at 600 yards under various conditions can feel like a chip shot if you practice enough. My criticism was directly related to the claims in the OPs post. To be a CONSISTENT sub 0.36 MOA shot at 1,000 yards with a hunting rifle has a particular context. That doesn't mean that you get a free flyer to get your wind call. That doesn't mean "when I do my part" or "that was a called flyer". And it doesn't meant that you had a 0.36 MOA group that was a foot from center. [/QUOTE]
