[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2022322, member: 11101"] The further distance wise that you practice and the more you practice, the better you will get. I've made a clean cold bore kill on coyote at 867 yds (prone off of bipod and fist for rear bag), missed it's mate at the same distance with the 2nd shot (forgot to adjust due to dirty bore), missed cow elk at 400, a bit over 500 and finally connected at 708 (same cow). Afterwards realized that the powder was VERY temp sensitive and POI changed 2 moa from 2 days previously when getting dope at that elevation. Different gun, I've missed at under 100 yds to yanking the trigger (brain telling the body that there would be a lot of recoil I guess) Savage Muzzleloader in .45 cal., shooting a 325g bullet at close to 2900 fps - no brake.
