many people do not realize just how far 200 meters is, and how difficult it might be to get a REALLY small group with a hunting rifle. We see this every year, especially now with the 'instant gratification' crowd buying Ultra Mags (or 7mm Rem Mags) so they can shoot elk at 800yards, just like on Wild TV. When they cannot keep 5 on the page at 100yards, they figure that must be normal and go hunting.
Group sizing at 100 meters, let alone the longer range boils down to equipment, technique and skill.
Of the many people that tell me about their half MOA hunting gun, I have yet to see one of them turn up at the club and show me on the 500m range!
