[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 331770, member: 10391"] Everyone seems to get hung up on group size when talking about long range hunting. In my opinion group size only comes into play when tuning the rifle and load and ones skills. Once you have that the important thing is can you hit what you shoot at? Using your number 750 yards can you with a cold barrel shoot cross canyon and put the bullet into a 10 inch kill zone on a elk with the first shot. There are a kazillion variables that influence that shot. You see nice groups all the time. The problem lies in that the groups are not at point of aim. If you can shoot a 1 inch group or less at 100 yards and the group is surrounding where you aimed then in my opinion you and the rifle are ready to stretch it out and find your limit and the quality of the load your using.
