[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2789237, member: 60453"] You're dead right. If you check the 2022 10 shot bench rest records with both Heavy Bench and Light Bench rifles, they get around 0.15 inches at 100 yards, and around the same at 200 yards, and these are the best shooters and rifles in the world. A sporting rifle that will consistently shoot a 3 shot group inside 0.3" at 100 would be very unusual. I've shot groups that tight, but the same rifle reliably shoots about a 0.75" group, and groups in the 'ragged hole' category happen infrequently. But it isn't the tightest group I go for. It is the tightest consistent group I go for. I think its unrealistic to expect sub-1/2" groups from sporter barrels unless said rifle is a complete custom job with a guarantee of that kind of accuracy, and if it is a custom rifle, it will probably have only one or two specified loads that will shoot that well in it.
