[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 331741, member: 10106"] I don't buy that 1 m.o.a. at 100 yards always equals 1 m.o.a. at 700 or 800 yards (or even 300 or 400 yards). Little things that don't make much difference at 100 yards begin to add up when you stretch the distance. How consistent is your velocity? How good is the bullet? .30-.378 kicks a lot; is recoil an issue? How consistent is your cheek weld? Is your trigger pull straight back? Are you settling in on the bags the same each time (or applying the same pressure to a bipod)? Any runout in your bullets? The above factors are pretty forgiving at 100 yards. They start to make a difference as you shoot farther out. And this all assumes there's no significant wind. I'm not trying to bust your chops or bring you down or anything. Just wanted to get across if your intent is to shoot game at 750 yards, don't worry or get fired up over what your rifle's doing at 100 yards. Concern yourself with what it's doing at 750. [/QUOTE]
