Thread: Is the standard for a hunting rifle 1.5 moa?

my early Nosler manual...number 3 has a speil about this....when sighting in FOR HUNTING (this IS the relevance) a really steady first round then 2 others as quick as you can simulates a REAL WORLD hunting type situation...stop and think about it before pooh hooing it..... if you can still achieve 1.5moa doing that..you doing really well...
that same manual has story of two chaps hunting groundhogs..one fella killing them well all day the other fella had lots crawl away wounded because he was using a more accurate load...but using match projectiles..moral of that story was a 3/4" group with expanding projectiles is more humaine than 1/4" group with ones that preform like a fmj.... a ground hog isnt very big compared to a deer so up your group size for bigger game appropriately
