[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 3057477, member: 61747"] I try and tell people that hunting long range requires exceptional accuracy and to be consistent at it you have to be exceptional as well. For me, I need at least .5 moa accuracy at 1000 to be effect on wolves. So that means hitting a 5” plate……. So backing that down to a realistic accuracy of 1 moa a shooter is sub 700. I’ve found that is way more true than I want to admit but throw in winter conditions, stress, very uncomfortable shooting platforms, and 1 moa quickly becomes the accuracy level, if not worse. This year I’ve been pulling back my ego affective range but still practicing beyond that. [/QUOTE]
