Default RE: Improving your overall shooting

I can outshoot you with my .22lr vs your .308 @ 200
I'm not sure how good of a shot BrutalAttack is but I find that a VERY hard to believe statement.

What kind of groups are you getting out of a .22lr at 200 yards? You are going to be getting a drop of about 6' and I hope the wind isn't blowing. Just the variation of 1 grain of power would causea difference of a couple inches in drop at that range. Unless you are using a really nice target rifle and match grade ammo you aren't going to be getting groups better than a dinner plate at 200 yards. Even with match grade ammo you are going to be lucky to get groups under 4" and that is from a bench rest under perfect conditions.
