RE: minimum accuracy requirements
Shooting sticks thats the ticket,I use them or a tree or something 95% of the time when shooting at game.Once I used my nephews shoulder to drop a buck at 287 yds with a 243.
I shoot my hunting rifles from the bench finding loads that give me less than an inch @100.If you can get very small groups on the bench you take out some of the varibles when shooting at game in the real world.
