Come on Cocadori? Under favorable conditions, with a capable rifle, a 3 shot 1/2 moa group @1000yds is not that difficult. Five rounds becomes more challenging. Ten round groups in BR competition is really, really challenging, testing the endurance of the shooter, rifle, and your luck with the wind.
I'm a long range hunter, so I train with bi-pod and rear bag, shooting 3 or 5 shot groups from 300-1200yds. Mostly 3 shot groups. Anything more for me is just toasting the barrel for no purpose.
I'll agree but they way this was spun is you guys are doing the 5" thing at 1K all the time. Also 1/2 moa at 1k isn't difficult but it ain't easy either.
Best I've ever done in competition "for record" is 4.1".
I too am a LR hunter. I worry more about the first round hit within 5" of my POA at 1K than I do the small group. In a all types of conditions. Although small groups at distance are fun.
