[QUOTE="Guest, post: 1198"] I'm no expert,and this is my opinion, but I think we are talking about two different things here, and this is why group size does not really equal effective lethal distance. The way I figure max distance is I set my target a long way out then take the shot. My target is the size of the kill zone. On really long shots I take a sighter first. I take one deliberate shot. If I hit, I am within my capabilities. If I miss then the distance is too far. If I keep shooting at that same target things will change. the wind will change, the sun will change,my gun will become hot and dirty and eventually I will miss.That is what happens when shooting a group,conditions change.(tolerence stacking) But I don't shoot a 10 shot string at animals. I look for consistent deliberate hits. Milk jugs for deer,soda cans for groundhogs,poker chips for rabbits,and bottle caps for squirrels. My experience has been that groups are a lot bigger than delibrate hit capabilities. frankg [/QUOTE]
