    Welcome to the forum SC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Being a RO you start thinking of what can happen, not what you hope will happen.
    Fair call SC. Sometimes videos can disillusion measurements and the variance is well within a safe range. Thanks though. I'll take your advice on board.

    The Bergers out of my 7-375 do the same out to about 400.
    What distance were they at? Looks like a big group from 100 if I'm reading this right.

    Nah I call bullshit. If you shot standing up then the weight of the rifle forward would pull you over Gibo.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    This seems like a good place to ask. What is an honest 600m deer caliber - so I mean can still kill at 700. Ie I don't want to be on the last of its legs at 600
    Needs to be factory chamber ie Tikka T3 and I would reload.
    Would certainly wear a DPT can.
    Scope would likely be a 4-12 something-a-rather.
