[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1018591, member: 12995"] That advice only applies to 500 yards and under for your average hunter who is only capable of shooting rifles with factory ammo at MOP (Minute Of Pie plate). I am NOT one of those guys. I have bad OCD and am a perfectionist when it comes to how my rifles shoot. I have certain standards that all my rifles must live up to, or else they get rebarreled. My standards vary depending on my intended use for each rifle, each particular rifle's barrel contour and thickness, caliber, and the way it's configured. IMO, that advice has no place in the long range hunting game, unless you only apply it to 1000 yard shooting. 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards is roughly 5". If a heavy barreled rifle won't shoot under ¾ MOA at 100 yards with load development, then I will rebarrel it. Because that means it's not capable of hitting a deer at 1,000 yards. I only use heavy barreled rifles for 500+ yard shots. All of my shots inside of 500 are done by sporter barreled magnums that shoot around ½-¾ MOA at 100 with handloads. [/QUOTE]
