I personally have some reservations about calling BS, without knowing the whole truth or all the facts. Seems that some are all toquick to call BS about everything and anything they may not agree with, have personally witnessed, or personally done.

Seems some folks are wrapped around the axle onabout theuse of the word "consistently". Webster defines it as:1archaic :possessing firmness or coherence 2 a:marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity;free from variation or contradiction.

Now, ifdoes it mean "free from vaiation" as in ALWAYS or does it mean "marked by regularity"? As I see it, when it comes toguns and shooting, it meanswith some degree of regularity. Now, to the degree of regularity (e.i. consistently), iswide open to personal interpretation.

BTW, a consistent.50"(1/2") rifle at 200yds would be a total waste of time competing in a sanctioned IBS or NBRSA shoot. To be competitive you would have to have a rifle that is capable of shooting groups halfthat size or tighter, with at least 80-90% consistency, or better.

Do I think a factory hunting rifle, with properly tuned handloads, can shoot.50" (1/2") groups at 200yds? Absolutely. Do I think is can be done 100% of the time? No. 75% of the time? No. 50% of the time? At best. 25% of the time. Probably close to a real world figure. All this is assuming that the shooter themself is up to the task.
