Here are other pic's of groups shot 11-22,11-24-18.Krieger barrel at 1000 yards,2 of 3 were under 1/2 moa [5"] at 1000 yds.Shot both guns at 700 yds on 11-24,almost stacked 6 shots,wind or me got 1st shot.Shot Criterion barrel at 1000 yards getting closer to 1/3 moa.A lot of people think if your rifle shoots 1/4-3/8" or moa at 100,when you back up to 1000yds ,it's Times TEN{ ie 100 yards]Just because a rifle will shoot 1/4"-1/3" at 100 yds does not mean it will at 1000 yds.In MO where i shoot the Elevation is 1100 feet.At 100 yards w/a 5 mph wind i get about .4"-.5"drift,At 500 yards,it's 12.5" thats 25 times as much,at 1000 yards it jumps to 65"-70",thats 140 times more drift.Zeroed at 100 yds, approx 34.5 inches of Drop at 500 yards,at 1000 yards it Jumps to 400 + inches.A lot of shooters have shot .308's w/ 168 gr Match bullets at 600 yards.Around here they get about 91 inches of DROP,at 1000 yards it Jumps to Over 355 inches.That is why a lot of shooters have trouble Past 600 yards,IT IS a WORLD of DIFFERENCE shooting at 600 yards versus shooting 1000 yards,with any Caliber.When you shoot 1000 yards,you have to Factor in The CORIOLIS EFFECT[ the spin of the EARTH] too.That is why it is much easier to shoot a 1/4"-3/8" group,or better at 100 yards,versus shooting a [5"]-1/2 moa group at 1000 yards.My Goal when it warms of next Spring; is Shoot a 1/3 moa group at 1000 yards,thats about a 3.5" group.I believe that is Possible. I'm not sure 1/4 moa is.I wish Everyone a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS even the Grinch's Have Fun-SHOOT OFTEN. --varget204
