[QUOTE="todbartell, post: 27598, member: 1435"] Wow, you guys really get heated up quick! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Man, I just came here because I was trying to get these MatchKings I had to shoot, so I came to the source of MK knowledge. When I said it takes alot of the human element, what I meant is from the video I watched, it looked to me like a novice shooter can do it (at least to 750 yards) with the proper equipment. I realize you want to eliminate the human element in LR hunting, to gain accuracy. [B]338-378[/B], Yeah, I'd get a kick out of an H&R SS that weighs 6 lbs shooting out to 500y. That would be quite a feat. Are you doing this? If so, give me the details, I'd like to hear more. You don't have to be "killin ****" with it, just paper would be fine for me. [B]BountyHunter[/B], Last summer I was shooting 120 gr. Nosler BT's over H4831sc. My groups were consistently under 1" for 5 shots, my smallest being .61" for 5 shots.
