Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What do YOU consider to be an accurate load?

I see poor Dumb Do Nothing DontGnoahhFhukkingThing's insecurities is very WELL founded. Funny how Stupidity ain't ever a "choice",but she "thinks" it is. Bless her heart!

Killing schit is easy,for them inclined and I've yet to see a great rifle hurt ANY equation. 'Course,noon else has either.(grin) I enjoy the Whine and the Excuses the Pie Plate Clan concoct and I reckon they just gotta tell themselve's sumptin'?!? Funny schit!

It's never been difficult to cypher who shoots more than a smidge and never will. I get a kick outta them who is always looking for reasons NOT to shoot,then they wonder aloud and perpetually,why they are ALL [bleep] up. Rifles is exceedingly simplistic mechanical devices,but they reliably stump the masses,as hilariously exemplified here.

Lemme give you some "news"...a guy can have his cake and eat it too. Hint.

Just sayin'.(grin)

So what's your excuse. You shoot alot and remain a total FUBAR POS.

I am not obsessed.

Not good enough to give me confidence in a load. Of course we don't know if the guy made a scope adjustment within this shot group, but I would suspect not.

I only use 100 yards to get me onto the paper for 200 yards. Because I've seen some loads that will not hold MOA when the distance is stretched a bit. Before I decide on a load I shoot 5 shot groups at 200 yards, and I like to have all five within a 2" group @ 200 yards. Of course longer range gives a better idea of what's going on, and I would be OK with a five shot 4" group @ 300 yards.
Happy Hunting

Consistent three shots in three inches and two hundred yards.

like most else, 80% is just showing up and having the proper tools.

Best,

if I can hit a plastic picnic spoon at 10 full yards I know the winderage and elevator are perfect.

What I consider an accurate load depends on the rifle and its purpose.

Prairie dogs or clay pigeons at 500-600 yards require pretty good accuracy or lots of luck. I prefer accuracy.

For larger game, I prefer an inch from my bolt guns but most do better with handloads. For the levers, 1.5� at 100 yards makes me smile and even they will often do better.

When iron sights come into play, all bets are off if using standard buckhorns. Some days I see them pretty well, other days less so. Accuracy is according, but I can�t blame the guns.

Accuracy is only relative. Precision is where it's at

For loads, yes.

You'll wanna start paying attention. A Wise man stated above and plainly:

"Lemme give you some "news"...a guy can have his cake and eat it too. Hint.

Just sayin'.(grin)"

Just sayin'.(grin)

For killing chit too...

Still waiting on the killing pics.

All depends on the rifle and game hunted

For me I have way too many rifles but have a few that I use regularly.. I like most strive for the best group possible but I am looking for that load that shoots under an inch in cold or hot weather. I have only found a few loads like that and those rifles tend to be my go to. 4895 in the 06. 3031 in the 22 250. And 748 in 223 Although I have found more accurate loads. These tend to shoot well ever time. More of a confidence thing,

Purty good day today. Tried to wear my Reloading Press out,gots a video camera adapter built for my Anschutz and some sorta cap thingies showed up too.





Wayyyyyyyy over built and ROCK solid.

Playin' arounda few minutes ago,in the yard. Treeline is 800yds and small change away,10x Fixed [bleep] and zero zoom on the camera.




For conversation.



Tidbits for a scope or two and a leetle sumptin' for the day Dreaming Do Nothing Dumbfhukks to further Whine about.(grin). 'Monkey sent me some wrong ones...though I'll make due.



Be nice to be able to film trace/impact in conjunction with the reticle and help others with Wind Readin' and the like.

Film at 11:00.(grin)

OK.

Them swamp deer?

less than .4" at 100 yards with a 4 shot group consistently.

They are all of that. Had a collision with a .30-30. Left one just fell over. Right one ran into a tree and fell over.

Depends if I am shooting this:



or this:



With the .50 BMG, "just" shooting MOA at distance would have been disappointing.

With the single-shot 44 mag rifle, a few inches at 100 yards put two deer in the freezer in less than twenty seconds.

Despite all the internet chest-puffing in this thread, the answer really is "It depends..."
