[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1941592, member: 1521"] My perspectives: Accuracy is the most powerful of all ballistic attributes. Accuracy prints as proximity to your mark. Accuracy is demonstrated by any & every single shot. Accuracy per distance per condition(system/field) defines your hunting shot capability. Number of shots beyond one cannot be relied on for hunting. Accuracy IS NOT defined by a minimum number of shots per distance, nor proximity between shots. This quality is called Precision, and has zero utility with hunting. The averaging of either few or many shot printings means nothing to hunting shot capability. Bottom line; this is 5 missed groundhogs in a row (unless he was aiming for that dime): [ATTACH type="full" alt="600ydRec.jpg"]203515[/ATTACH] Now you could suggest the simple 'dial the scope a few clicks this way and a couple that way' to hit your mark. That'll work while the barrel is still hot, and don't dare moving the gun doing it. Then, go ahead and let the barrel cool, and put a single shot into an moa relative X @ 100yds today. Tomorrow, put a single cold bore shot into an X @ 200yds. Go 100yds or 50yds or 25yds further each day and do this. Run the numbers on what you're actually doing there, instead of imagining how things might be (statistically) . [/QUOTE]
