Another is that with some regularity I can and do ring a 14"x14" piece of plate steel hanging from a limb at a lasered 986 yds. Do I hit it every shot? Hell no! no one does that I shoot with though I do hit it an average 3 out of 5 shots on a windless day.
I can see no need nor future in internet muscle flexing on this or any subject thus I shall sit back an enjoy the read.

**Here's another shocker " I pick the Steelers to win by 2 pts.


Here's more proof to the bullspit in this post. The following picture is taken thru a spotting socpe at the targets at a well known bpcr shoot. The buffalo is 800 yds, stands about 6ft high and is 8ft long, the bear is nearly 10 ft square and is at 970 yds, and the 1000 yd rectangle is 6x8.
It takes a good load with 500 gr bullets to get there and stay on target. As of yet I've not seen anybody shooting 405 gr 45 caliber bullets be able to keep 3 out fo 5 hits on any one of those targets let alone a 14x14 inch group on those targets..

the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
