What about a .22mag with a fixed 4x scope?

I say go for it just because I want to see how well you do. Go all out though and try for rapid fire on movers! :tup:

When and where will determine if I'm able to go. You going to load up the 6.5badger with a super lightweight just to show off?

Why a bullet weight requirement?  Does it really effect a persons ability to group 10 shots at 300 yards?  I would love to participate, but don't shoot that heavy a bullet out of either my .223 or .22-250.  Any chance we can remove that requirement?

There's a range in your velocity, where the shooting/groups open up linearly over the range.  So, a 1/4" group at 50 yds will be 1/2" at 100 yds will be 1" at 200 yds, etc.  It will eventually get to a point where the bullet has slowed down enough that it is underspun and the groups open up non-linearly.  So, you go from 1/4 (50), 1/2 (100), 1 (200), 1 1/4 (250) then jump to something like 3 inches at 300 (or whatever the distance is where your velocity drops).  Most easily seen with the longer, narrow bullets (usually the heavier ones).

Great explanation.  Thanks for that.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
