[QUOTE="dragman, post: 741074, member: 39571"] I would ditch the load, and possibly the gun. I am pretty anal about my loads and guns and If I can't hold a minimum of .5 MOA out to 500 yards and between .75 and 1 MOA to 1000 I am changing something. I agree with the posted above that a heavier higher B.C. bullet might give you more stability out to the distances you want to be able to shoot. My rule of thumb is this: I give my self a 3X penalty for hunting. I take the groups that I can consistantly shoot out of given gun at whatever distances I am shooting and times it by 3. if that keeps me in the vitals then it's a go. for example on a white tail I have to keep it within a 12" vital so I will only shoot out to the distance that I can consistantly keep my groups at 4" or better.
