[QUOTE="62flint, post: 2745481, member: 124345"] Depends on how windy , how my heart rate is and other variables. We as hunters need to realize what our limitations are. And those limits will vary from day to day. Good solid rest 10mph cross wind, target pretty much sitting still and I just didn’t finish climbing a mountain. Yeah I can make a 800-1000 yard shot. Would I no. My self imposed hunting limit is 500-600. But I like to practice and do load development way past 500 yards. Others mileage may vary. That’s just my limits The target is a 625 yard group during seating depth testing. Barnes 180ttsx , 73.0 g of h4831sc , nosler brass fed mag primer. Seated .200 off the lands. It’s off the red dot because I was more concerned with group size than poi The group closer to the red dot is the same load. Same day. Just .125 off the lands. And I did crank the scope over between the groups. I do load development off a bench. With front rest , rear bag. I practice off of bipod, cross sticks , back pack etc. but I want to to what the rifle is capable of. So when I miss I know it’s me. Not my equipment. I also short no more that 3 rounds then let the rifle cool for at least 5 minutes lots of times more. I asked the original question because o think sometimes I am too picky with rifle accuracy.
