1000 yd group?

[Big Bo]

Don`t know the gun. Co-worker says his boss shot in a 1000 yd compition and put 19 of 20 shots in the 6" circle. I told him (co-worker) I would like to see the pics.

Is smoke being blown?

Not too hard to belive, if the shooter and rifle are up to it.

Considering the NBRSA world record for 10 shots is 5.1908" it probably is a little fanciful. Not saying it didn't happen. Just saying it is unlikely. Maybe 6 MOA? Hahaha!

Re: 1000 yd group?

It could be done but it's tough to keep 10 shots under 6". The rifle may be accurate enough but is the shooter that good and will conditions allow a shot string that long without changing. A 10 shot group under 6" gets everyones attention at our 1K matches. 10 shots under 5" and people start shaking your hand. 5 shots under 5" are much more common. 5 shots under 4" aren't that rare. I hold the NBRSA Heavy Gun record, 10 shots in 4.322" That's held up since September of '06 I would have thought that would have been broken by now. That group was shot with 187 gr. 30 cal flat base bullets. BC isn't everything.
