[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 3072116, member: 95344"] Well a realistic test. Do we fire off a string of one hundred shots when hunting? Shots consecutively are going to negatively affect the rifle's accuracy. So let's be realistic. How big is the vital zone of our game? A gallon jug last time I measured was around 9 inches tall not including the little neck and cap and 6 inches wide. That's pretty small compared to most big game's vital area. Even an antelope's vital area is in the 8-5-9 inch in diameter. And finally the host supplied the ammo. I don't think there is one person in this forum that would accept a test using untested/ unfamiliar ammo. If they do then I'd have to question their knowledge/ abilities. I place ammo pretty high in the system. I'd never hunt any distance with ammo I didn't load or test. Built in failure probability if you ask me. And that's based on testing people's firearms abilities. [/QUOTE]
