    I think that the skill of shooting is widely overlooked by the "She'll be right" NZ hunter, probably because it's not necessary for what they do.


    Edit: now we're sort of on a different subject entirely than what the original post was, which was "ok, you say your rifle shoots sub "moa" consistently, prove it then"
    Who has said that and what is the criteria for a sub moa shooter? I take it its not 3 shot groups

    No-one in particular said "my rifle shoots XX" specifically causing me to make this thread.


    Post several consistent 3 round groups if you like. Just don't post "well my rifle shoots consistently less than half MOA" and then a single 3-shot group or worse nothing at all to back it up.

    Well iv only got 30 rounds left and im 3 weeks away from my reloading bench so im not puting a heap of 280ai through a piee of paper to prove what I already know but will these satisfy?
    600yds trying to sort the wind , nice and constant but some directions have a significant verticle component.
    Shot the top and bottom shot then dialed 1//2 moa right as i feared it might miss the plate.

    Damn, I'm sure I have a one hole group around here somewhere , and I didn't waste any more than one shot doing it.
    Question.... If you have a 6.5mm bullet and all your bullets go in the one hole, does that mean you have a .264" group.
    Seems harsh, especially if you do it with a 45-70.

    What's up with the attitude that actually shooting is a waste?

    Shooting is not a waste, I like shooting, however on some days it a toss up whether I would rather shoot or wind you up.
    Hard choice sometimes.

    Blahahaha, As usual Gimp you got the wrong end of the stick ( actually I think you got the end with shit on it ) I do'nt load test at 4hundy I do it at a hundy like most people, then always test & sight the load Ive choosen at 200.

    must admit though that I do'nt shoot as much as I would like to, I surpose it's all about making yourself find the time

    I think most of the people reading this thread would come to the contrary conclusion
