    The dinner plate challenge

    I’ve been thinking, there are questions about how far is it ethical to shoot at animals, what caliber should I use for…@gimp set up a shooting challenge that proves your rifle, this it a hunting challenge.
    Most animals require one shot with a cold barrel and have about a 6” kill zone. So here it is, “the dinner plate challenge”.
    Before shoot you, can hit a dinner plate at your given range limit with one shot. You can choose your limit and post your plate. Mine is at 200m (last shot was over a year ago and was a kill on a deer) because that has been my range limit. I then fired a group at a target and found my point of aim needed moving left a little.
    Some rifles shoot tight groups but need a few fouling shots. Some shoot well clean but foul quickly. Others may start spreading when they warm up. Gongs hits can be guided in but don’t count when you are hunting. I don’t think it matters if you are hunting, as long as you know your rifle and can make a clean kill with one shot.
    Please post your plate and distance and no prizes.
