[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 3058879, member: 116563"] No you're not shooting 30 rounds at an animal. But the data point of group size comes from a 30 round group shot in FIELD CONDITIONS. So imagine taking ten 3 shot groups, from ten different field positions. You're not going to have your 5 pound bunny ear rest bag either like on the bench. All prone. But maybe one on some rocks, one on a left slant hill, one on a right slant hill. One slightly uphill, one slightly downhill. And 5 other slightly imperfect positions. That group would be the true field capability of you and your rifle. And I guarantee to you, nobody is shooting 1/2 MOA under all circumstances, compiled together. That is the true cone of you and your rifle. And then you know the absolute worse you can shoot under all circumstances and base a hit rate off that. [/QUOTE]
