[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1422384, member: 880"] Mo, here's why I use A-Max and SMK's in my rifles accuracy! that's it dude. It's not to be cool and say I shoot deer with target bullets or to go against what a manufacture says it's all about the accuracy in my rifles. .25 MOA yeah it's only 1/4" @100 yards hell that's nothing! BUT @400 yards that same .25 MOA is 1" at 800 it's 2" simple math I know my reason is if I have say a .5 MOA rifle when the range gets out to the 400 mark that rifle should group 2" add that .25 MOA from the bullet differences then you get a 3" group IF everything goes right! now add into the mix a wind guess of 5 and it's really 7mph and you shoot for 380 yards and it really 400 yards all of a sudden that .25 MOA really plays into the mix. Kinda get an idea where I'm going? I'm not going to lie to ya I used to NEVER shoot game with a match bullet! NEVER! but as I started getting better and more practice at distance and more confident in myself and me rifles things started to change and I needed every last bit of accuracy I could squeeze from my equipment. Since then I have been building my rifles, I have not shot store bought rounds thru any of my LR rifles everything is loaded, I WAS shooting on average 200-300 rounds a month at ranges out to 1K so yeah I know what my rifles can do and I know what I can do, I don't have NEAR the time that D&T does behind a rifle OR the training but then again I also don't take those crazy long shots cause I know I can't make them. I practice and practice field conditions off the ground with bi-pods and my test is a 6" paper plate, if I can't put 3 rounds into that plate the distance is too far for me to shoot and I don't try those shots. I do this several time so I know that I can make that shot 100% positive that when I touch off the round deer is done! this is done several times not just one day and call it good. So after all the rambling my reason I shoot A-Max and SMK bullets is the degree of accuracy they offer over conventional hunting type bullets and I feel I owe the game I'm after the quickest dispatch I can and when a well placed bullet is needed these bullets can offer me that confidence where I've not been able to gain that with the hunting bullets and yes I have tried them. That's my story dude I hope it made a little sense. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
