[QUOTE="Window, post: 1760670, member: 88485"] I’ve nearly 50 and have been an avid hunter and shooter since I was four. I’ve also had the long range bug for over 30 years and have been precision reloading the same amount of time. Out of respect to all the members on this forum, I’ve never made a comment to the topic you have posted. For me, my hunting rounds get more attention to detail than my bench rounds and rifles. I want nothing short than perfection with hunting loads and rifle set up. I would never settle for a hunting rig that shoots a 1” or 1 1/2” group at 100 and call it good enough for hunting. I will take every step possible to make sure it shoots sub 1/4”. In the field there are many more variables than there are off the bench. If people accept lower standards for hunting rifles, (especially those who shoot long range) that 1” group at 100yds is now a 5” group at 500yds. Any slight shooter error is going to make it even larger resulting in a miss or even worse, a hit animal that’s not recovered. [/QUOTE]
