[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1350761, member: 30671"] I think you can get under the MOA mark, but maybe not by elk season. I think you're good enough for elk to 400 with what you got. Your average for the 3 groups is like 1.42". Your 0.46" is as likely to be best, as the 2.5" is worst. The 1.3" is likely about where you're at. Can be improved probably. I've been putting in time with mine lately, and think your 2.5" group is likely something in technique. I've done this more than once lately. For me establishing consistent cheek weld with this style stock has been problematic. The round, skinny, thin fore end doesn't ride the front rest as well as other styles, and can be sensitive to where exactly the stock is positioned initially. It's been a long while since I shot Trophy Bonded's. Good game bullets yes, most accurate maybe not. Your stated range limits open up a lot of possibilities. There are other good bullets out there, but I'd hunt with either of the 2 loads described so far, and play with it more in the off season. [/QUOTE]
