[QUOTE="340 in Va, post: 3072577, member: 104290"] This takes me back 20 to 30 years when some was getting ready for deer season. They would set up a paper plate at 100 yds, if they hit the pate 2 or 3 times they were ready to go. I've had several hunting rifles that shot .7 or better, 3 shot, cold bore then let barrel cool 1 min. and shoot. If I can't hit a paper plate most of the time at whatever range (cold bore) than I need more practice until I can or be a better hunter and get closer. I'm betting that this challenge has a lot of people testing their skills and practicing more. I'm not going to take the 71/2 lb 340 bee and shoot 100 rounds, but the 6.5 Creedmoor or 308 will get some rounds down the tube. [/QUOTE]
