[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 203188, member: 5"] If you're shooting a factory gun with typical factory accuracy, you may be able to do it at 200 yards. With a custom gun, and the resulting accuracy, typically anything less than 300 yards only results in a lot of holes very close together and usually you will have shots going into areas where the target is all torn up. Shoot it at 300 yards, or more, and it's easier to see what's going on, easier to mark the shots and easier to see where the nodes are. It's kind of like the difference in watching tv on a 12" screen vs a 42" plasma screen. I shot a ladder test once at 300 yards and also loaded up some extra duplicates and also shot it at 100 yards. The result at 100 yards was just one big ragged hole in the target. The one shot at 300 had the shots spread out enough to track them, mark them and it also made it easier when done to interpret the results of the test. [/QUOTE]
