[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1290696, member: 50867"] Good point Barrelnut. That load does open up to .66 MOA at 6 hundred yards and I can expect a disappointing 1 MOA at 1K using it. So I limit my hunting shots to 800 yards. I agree. However those guys are shooting competitively. They aren't hunters. They can't afford anything that won't shoot bug holes at any distance. "... that flyer might get to be an issue..." Most "flyers", in my experience, are attributable to the shooter rather than the ammo. Hunter excitement (and it's still a factor no matter how long you've been hunting) fogs the brain and we sometimes forget that too much cheek, too much pressure on the rear bag, improper loading of the bipod, a small error on the shoulder contact all lead to embarrassing results on target. Then, of course, there is that nasty wind influence. IMO, it doesn't matter how good your load is. If you extend the range beyond your ability to shoot accurately not even Bryan Litz (whom I have the utmost respect for) can help you. gun) [/QUOTE]
