Thread: Accuracy at 100 vs 600 (example). Variations in accuracy at different ranges

My current 284 load seems to be the first example. It doesn’t do much flash at 100 but when I was shooting the gong at 575 yards it was shooting like a tack driver. I always thought it didn’t make sense?

The answer is in your question, you were shooting for "groups" at 100 and "hits" at 575 yards.
