My Savage 111 / 30-06 shoots more or less at the MOA. The 165 gr bullets are a bit tighter than the 150 gr. All of that is nice but is it really usefull? The question is how well will you be able to shoot from an improvised position (no bench while hunting) when you see the caribou at 200 yds or a deer at 80 yards. I am happy as long as I can get a 5" group at 300 yards on the field with a high probability.
This is exactly why I love my .22. I can practice my 5 basic positions from both sides without spending a fortune in ammo. I don't even shoot it from the bench. What would be the point? I use it like a practice ball, with my hunting rifles being my game ball.
