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

Actually met a fella once without a nose but I get your drift. We were both in the ER at DaNang commiserating about our bad fortune. His native tongue was Vietnamese and he was damn hard to understand.

Thing I notice about groupage these days is I spend a lot less time getting wee versions that in the past. Convenient that, since it doesn't drive me the way it usta. Even my BB gun shoots bugholes.

Gonna steal the "3 and a quarter" concept. Good marketing concept right there.

One that will put the FIRST round out of a COLD, CLEAN barrel where the crosshairs are EVERY time.

I remember about 30 years ago shooting an accurate 25-06 off a bench, comparing loads that ranged from 3/4 - 1.5 inch. A guy a couple benches down was shooting a handgun and shooting at paper plates. When we stopped to change targets we looked at each others groups. He mentioned that mine looked pretty nice; showed me his plate that, by comparison were scattered on the plate. Wasn't too impressed at first, til he held the plate in front of his chest. I chuckled at how effective his would have been for the purpose they were designed for. Been using that as a reminder that groups on paper don't meen squat in the real world.

Drive for show, putt for dough. Getting outdriven with a 5 iron will turn a guys putting to schit.....
