[QUOTE="bearcat2, post: 1716481, member: 18832"] Numbers are nice and you want them as tight as possible ideally. But if it is shooting 1/2 MOA I would take it out and shoot it at the longest range you have available, or the longest range you would consider shooting at an animal. I've seen plenty of guns/loads that didn't have that great of SD's that still shot great. If it'll group 2" at 400 (1/2 MOA) I wouldn't worry about it unless you are planning on shooting double that range, and then I would test it at 800 before I got carried away with trying to tighten up your numbers. Unless of course you are like some of us and just enjoy dinking with loads to see what you can accomplish. Then by all means enjoy yourself tinkering around and seeing if you can get down to single digits (unlikely). Just remember, accuracy is the bottom line, I've seen loads with awesome numbers that wouldn't consistently hit the broad side of a barn. [/QUOTE]
