LOL! This is hilarious. Okay, in all seriousness, yeah, a .308 will hit a target at 600 yards and beyond. A .308 is a NATO cartridge; it must perform well to meet such specifications. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I cannot hit anything at 600 yards with any rifle. I just said that because I knew it would irk some folks on here, and I enjoyed that! My dad didn't like that comment, either!
If you are 1" MOA or under at 100 yards, you will be 6" MOA or under at 600 yards. This is the size of the 10 ring on a F-Class target at 600 yards. If you are consistently shooting groups under 1 MOA you are shooting/grouping well.
Ya probably poke bee hives with a stick, don't ya.

What the heck is an inch-minute-of-angle ?
I measure the outside, I think thats the right way
I just started shooting long range myself, the wind can move the bullet a long ways in 600 yards, it is fun

I learned something, that means my rifle shoots better than what I thoughtExcept not. If you go outside to outside, how do benchresters shoot groups in the teens (.199" or less) with a .224 caliber round? Center to center is also the only way to compare the relative accuracy of two rounds of differing bullet diameters.
A typo. Sorry I'm not perfect. Do you give lessons on how to be?
Normally, this is true, but he's using a .308. A .308 will never reach a target 600 yards away.
I know this is somewhat of a silly question to all of you veteran competition shooters but, what is considered to be a good group at 100 yards?
I just posted another post in the rifle section of the forum asking for some advice on getting glasses for my 43 year old eyes and got several great responses. But, it led me to wonder if I'm expecting too much of my eyesight. I'm just trying to find a milestone for myself to acheive and would like to know where I stand and help me to know what questions I need to ask to improve my shooting.
I am just now getting into bench shooting with optics. I'm shooting a Remington 700 Police in .308win with a 4x16 tactical scope. I am currently shooting between .410 & .475 groups at 100 yards (measuring outside of bullet holes at widest point & subtracting .308 from it). I'm sure I still have a long way to go but, given the above info what kind of groups should I try aiming for and what type of competition shooting would I want to get into?
I will sincerely appreciate any comments or criticism.
Thanks!
