It is my firm belief that most important when hunting is that the first cold bore shot goes EXACTLY where aimed…Not to sound like a "smart @$$", but .5 moa groups are not necessary for moose. I'd never think twice about using a much superior bullet that shoots 1.5 moa groups, for big bodied game with the possibility of a steeply angled shot! But that's just me!
I have never shot a group on an animal, never will.
Have seen too many hunters solely focused on where their shot is going to go rather than what is right in front of them. Admiring the shot is what it is called in Africa, I was taught to keep shooting, whether needed or not, if the animal is still standing or mobile. We call this snap shooting from off-hand and it is normal here..I had a difficult time in Africa adjusting to shooting off of sticks, it was totally foreign to me, still is, I was told they don't trust off-hand shots. Funny thing, all the PH's and trackers shot off-hand…
Cheers.
