[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 551927, member: 1521"] Both a typical 30br, or a 6PPC can be relied on to cut ragged holes at 300yds. They do it like it's automatic. A typical LR gun(that is competitive at distance) only provides wallet groups like this at 300yds. Hell every gun in my safe will consistently hit a 1"bull at 300. But there is no way I could take on a co-worker's 30br at that range. He would slaughter me so obviously.. Long range equipment is a mix of compromises, that leaves much of the distant results to the skill of the shooter. They release vastly more energy, into tighter twists, causing way more gun and barrel movements, and 2-3times the muzzle pressures. This is not tolerated for the sake of accuracy in itself, but only to be 'competitive' at distance. So I assign LR shooting credit more to the skill of shooters, rather than standards of equipment.
