What's an acceptable 3 shot Grouping to you??

[carpsniperg2]

Call BS all you want but I shot competition rifle and handgun for many years and yes, I sight my rifles in at those tolerances.  Try shooting more than a couple of days a year and you can do it as well.

to say that we don't shoot more than a couple times a year is stupid because you don't know and what gun what load are they hand loads what about wind drift or titlt of the earth i am sure you know how to compisate for that as well lol

An inch at 100yds is fine for me out of a hunting rifle.  However, I base my accuracy out past in the 300-600 yard range.

Big game rifles... 1.5 MOA or better is acceptable for me.

Varmint/predator rifles... 0.75 MOA or better.

Kinda like the incoherent statement that you just made?
I have owned 2 rifles that I am capable of doing that with, one a custom H&K 91 with a 26" heavy barrel and my current custom worked Springfield 30-06.  I shoot factory loads with a bench rest and take my time shooting. I've been shooting since I was 5 (even shot for the Federal Ammunition team in my teens) and take it very seriously. I didn't realize that it was such a big freaking deal.

I know of shooters with your abilities Polar.  What they can do amazes me!  Wish I had the time to do so myself.

I didn't realize that it was such a big freaking deal. 

Kinda what I was thinking.  I thought that was the whole point of shooting alot.  I wish I did more of it.  I shoot Remington 700's that have had their beddings glassed.  now if you wre talking quarter sized groups at 600 I might harass ya.   Hell there is a guy on here bragging hitting a 50 cent piece at 80 yards every shot with his bow.  I think that would be worth may more ribbing.
back to the original question.

quarter size

[sako223]

My guns are guaranteed 1" group but that is not good enough.
I want one ragged hole.
So 3 or 5 shots will not do for me. By about 50 shots I have one ragged hole about 2".

[carpsniperg2]

we are not talking about the best groups you have ever shot in your life what is incoherent about my statement nothing. if you are that good of shot that nothing bigger than that is o.k. you must really be the best shooter on here sure i shoot more than a few times a year and i am sure i shoot almost as much as anyone on here in the last 2 weeks i have 9 times and since one time was with 22 lr i shot more than 2500 rounds in one day probably more than you shot all year i have been shooting since i was 2 years old bb gun lol you just need to take a breath and calm down lol  and of course you going to catch crap for a statement as bold as that its pretty silly to have those standards for hunting as i am sure alomst everone will agree since we are talking hunting and not just benchrest shooting.

[boneaddict]

Take a deep breath yourself.....................

its pretty silly to have those standards for hunting

 

Some folks take hunting very seriously.   I'd be careful who I was getting in a pecker measureing contest with on here.  There are more hardcore folks on here than you might find anywhere at one time.

[carpsniperg2]

lol i agree bone and i don't want to get into a pecker measuring contest some of you might have seen my porn videos lol and it might make you cry lol i know there is alot of hardcore guys and good for them i idalize those people good for them its great to have high standards

 20 minunites ago I shot a 3 shot group that can be covered with a dime at 100 yards. I not happy because they aren't through the same hole where its hard to tell how many shots went through the hole.  I shoot alot like some of the other posters and have some custom rifles that shoot through the same hole if the shooter is capable. I maniacal about it. I keep notebooks of loads and shoot more than most people I know...

5 shots sub-moa at 200 isn't that hard people..

[jackelope]

5 shots sub-moa at 200 isn't that hard people..

a moa at 200 yards though is 2". i would agree with you there.

[WDFW-SUX]

Honestly some of the stuff I just saw would make any serious shooter cry...... there are some real yahoo's out there

 

[carpsniperg2]

thats right jackelope didn't even think of that a 2" group at 200 yards is not hard to get
