[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 154527, member: 367"] Thanks. The plates can be the only problem...they all used to be the size of manhole covers. The 200, 300 and 400yds plates have gotten better. In the last few years they have them all down to about 10"...which is reasonable for deer hunting. The 500yd plate is still about 36"!!! This gives knuckleheads a false sense of confidence if they wing ten rounds out there and hit it twice they call it good. I'm still really learning...but if I can lay down a 1MOA group in a field position from my XP's at 400yds on the 10" plate I consider that decent. Usually they are in the .5-.75MOA range w/ the APS XP. Best is two groups in a row that were .25MOA at 400yds. At 500yds I usually only shoot at rocks (6" or less in size) or water jugs...the plate is so dinged that spotting hits (even with fresh paint) can be tough. Guess I need on of them big'ol .338's that everyone is raving about!!
