[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2132135, member: 42494"] You asked about "hunting rifle" use. My hunting rifle use over the last 50 years is much different from the above posters. My deer hunting rifles 300WM or 3006 shoot very consistently from year to year. Consequently, I shoot one round each year from a cold bore to check my scope. Year after year after year, they always hit within a half inch at 100 yards. The next shot will be a DRT deer. I rarely shoot more than once per deer season. So, I usually shoot 2 rounds on whichever rifle I decide to use that year. My AR-10, night scoped, 308 Win, hog rifle I shoot quite a bit more. I don't even check the accuracy and just go hog hunting/exterminating each year while it's cool here in Florida. I probably shoot 20 hogs a year and give the meat to locals that need it. Always a head shot at about 100 yrds. Haven't missed yet. Not bragging, just telling it the way it has been for years. Not meat hunting, but I practice out to 1200 yards on steel using a GAP chassis 6.5 Creedmore. Probably shoot 1000 +/- 500 rounds a year. Also practice with a Daystate .22 PSP air rifle on varmints. Probably shooting 500 pellets per year. [/QUOTE]
