[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 3060595, member: 3230"] The podcast said you don't have to shoot 30 shots at once - go ahead and shoot three shot groups but do it on the same target over a 10 day period. You still think that would be 1/4 MOA? As for the 600 aggregate, it was shot on June 13, 2021. If I recall Glen Kulzer said conditions were perfect. The fact we don't shoot 30 shots at an animal is not the point. Thirty shots tells us what that rifle can do - that is why I said shoot a 30 shot group over a period of 30 days. In your example, you shot a great four shot group over four days. Do that 26 times and calculate your hit rate on a 10" target. I can flip a coin three times and it will land heads all three times once every eight times I try. The odds of getting heads 30 times in a row is once in just over a billion (at one second per flip, you won't live long enough to see it even if you started at birth and didn't eat, sleep, or shoot). Same applies to a three shot group. Unless you superimpose your groups over themselves, they really mean nothing. [/QUOTE]
