    Before someone jumps in with some ad hominem, I'm not claiming to be a brilliant shot and able to hit the target perfectly everytime either. I need a lot of practice at the moment, I just maybe have a different idea about what is important to practice... and it comes back to honest self-assessment

    While I dont know you gimp it seems you have a real bee in your bonnet about groups.
    It is what the thread is about, and what is pratical to strive for...as a group.
    It goes without saying if you cant put that group in the kill zone or the bull you need to practice more or get closer
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    I think this also goes without saying, but I will spell it out for Gimp to avoid a possible backlash, that it's very important not to create an obsession around group size, spending time, money and energy striving endlessly for the last few mm's that won't come!

    it's not a mission impossible effort to do a bit of load development at the longer ranges, and establish a load that seems to preform the best it can. It's up to the individual where they choose to leave this step, which is the point of this thread!

    I think Gimp's point adds to the thread, personally.
    The thread is about groups at LR but if you cant fire that group central in the intended target whatever the range, they are pointless.
