[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 3058418, member: 3230"] His point was a 3 shot 1/4 MOA group is not reflective of the population, and that if you shot a 30 shot group, you will no longer have a 1/4 MOA group - probably 1 MOA, with the 1 MOA being defined by perhaps 95% of your shots within 1/2 MOA, but the other 1 or 2 opening it up to 1 MOA. I don't think he is necessarily disagreeing with you unless you are saying you can put 100% of your bullets from a 1/4 or 1/2 MOA rifle within those group sizes. I do agree with you about accuracy; I used to shoot less than my best rifles when the wind was blowing hard, thinking the wind was going to affect me a lot more than poor precision and that I would still get good wind practice. Wrong - it caused me to wonder if a miss or near miss was a bad wind call or just an inaccurate rifle. [/QUOTE]
