[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1167841, member: 63138"] I don't know who "we" are that are ignoring the horizontal but it isn't me. Though this is a bit over simplified basically, I do load development at 200 yards until I get a 4-shot group that is 0.7 MOA or better. If the group is repeatable on another day I call it good and go hunting. I can usually do that in less than 20 shots. I don't see much point wasting ammo and barrel life to get to 0.5 MOA as I'm not even sure I can shoot that good consistently though it seems to happen every now and then. After this I will periodically take cold bore shots at ranges out to 600 yards and assess the miss relative to dead perfect. If I think the miss is a bit much for my intended application I may do some more load development. [/QUOTE]
