You shoot a 6lb .223 in 1,000 yard F-Class and average .5 MOA for 10 round groups?
Whats interesting is all the "1/2moa all day long" rifles that people have. A couple years ago my partner and I shot a major sniper match. I shoot a reletively unique rifle and lots of people ask how it shoots. I generally respond with "about 1 MOA" as that's the truth- I can guarantee that gun will hit a 1 MOA target at 100 yards with significantly better than 95% certainty. The usual response is and was disdain for such a bad shooting rifle, as all of theirs are "sub half MOA all day long". That match had three different stages where you shot .75-1.25 MOA targets at 70-100 yards. There were three people out of 120 that cleaned all three stages. My partner, myself, and another shooter that had a "1 MOA" rifle.
It isnt a .5 MOA gun if it won't hit a .5 MOA target with every round, starting cold.
Well stated, couldn't agree more. I've got a rifle or two that cost a lot of money that will print sub-MOA groups every now and again. Could I hit a sub-MOA (or 1 MOA) target 9 out of 10 times? Not a chance. Think it's the shooter? Put it in a machine rest. It'll still miss some.
These "all day long" guys crack me up.
