Interesting response. The initial post tossed out how common is 1 MOA accuracy. When I shoot my long guns to zero or during load testing I generally shoot prone supported or off a bench. I consider the results of this to reflect how I shoot. I often see shooters at local ranged shooting off...

I have found that more than 24 hours with you and a Minute of Gin (MOG) is the most realistic outcome.

I consider prone supported or bench supported off a bag a reasonable standard for shooter and rifle. Locking the rifle in a sled I feel has little to do with shooting but does clarify a rifle's accuracy. I see some shooters at the range go from 1 to 5 MOA the moment the rifle leaves the sled.

Silly question... When you guys are shooting a consistent MOA, are you shooting prone supported, prone unsupported, seated at a bench, off a sled, bipod, shooting sticks?

170 Grain Oryx in 7x57 is my primary plains game round. To date I have seen nothing but great results. Deep penetration and full expansion while retaining 90+% of its weight. Zero issues so far this year taking Sable, Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbok, Waterbuck, Warthog, Bushbuck, Lechwe, Puku...

Gunsandrovers is a great group of guys.

My 1971 109" Land Rover has 600K miles. My 1985 110 has 200K, my 2006 D3 has 260K

I personally have been very happy with Norma Oryx bullets on plains game the last few years in 7x57. 156 Grain Oryx should do well in your rifle.

That is a great book and must read!

I park on gravel...Just shovel more on top when it looks rough

I think Cruxland is not too bad a gin (South Africa)

I would prefer my cup to run dry than not see my drive train dripping 90wt. I appreciate the support. If I recall you are not that many years behind me.

To be fair....I believe in the future I will lock up my Gin when Pete is around. He is a bit shifty and always lurking. If you look at the pic he looks guilty. Most likely when I was up to piss he kept taking nips from my cup.

I think its evaporation.....

I have really began to like Sipsmith. Gin bottles go pretty quick here.
