[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3059949, member: 116633"] I think some people really concentrate too much on shooting little bitty 3 shot groups instead of practicing field positions. people are competative and a whole bunch of people who write in to this forum are competing with the other fellow on here for little bitty 3 shot groups at 100 yds. 3 shot groups for sure will lie and so will 100 yd groups for use at long range. I never shoot any high power rifle at less than 200 yds and always at least a 5 shot group. I just had a 5 shot group lie to me, there was a match for M1 garands in rattlesnake mountian in Wa. last weekend so I made up some test ammo with 45 gr Tac, 46 gr tac and 47 gr tac and shot them and the 45 gr and the 47 gr tac didn't do well but the 46 shot a 3 inch group at 200 which I was happy with so I wanted to believe that result and promptly made about 500 of these, well I had the fluke group because testing again the group was way larger than the one I wanted to believe. One of the best Highpower shooters I have ever seen still shoots a 308 across the course even though a 260 or equilivent has the potential to help in the wind but he shoots the same load even when he gets a new barrel and it always works but what he says that is real is spend your time shooting not load testing and reloading shooting off the bench is a waste of time and barrels. The 308 was very good for not being fussy look at federal gold medal match, if your rifle won't shoot it something is wrong with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
