[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3952054, member: 48072"] I blame the 'interwebs' on a lot of that accuracy expectancy. A LOT of dudes out there cherry picking one group after a day at the range...stating that their rifles will do that "all day, every day...as long long you do your part". The problem is there's only one group to show for two hours of shooting? I see a single 3-5 round group that is attached to an accuracy boast, I get skeptical in a hurry. Now if it is attached to a comment about load development, and followed up by a desire to confirm...then I'm excited for that shooter. ^ Thise are the same guys who sit 5' behind their deer, or hold their fish out at the camera...and the internet is full of them. Or worse yet, it's the guys boasting with zero proof. I was at a Dicks sporting goofs store 15 years ago when the gun counter idiot and a semi-retarded customer got in a pissing match over who killed the bigger deer. By the time I walked away disgusted they had eclipsed the 500lb mark...no joke. I understand that every sport is going to have an element of competition, but compete with yourself and not the guy who cropped his target to hide that 1" flier. You'll get a lot more out of handloading that way....rather than trying to gain as much 'internet cred' as the loser who tries to convince his old lady that something that only goes halfway to his belly button is actually nine inches.
