A crosshair with a dot is preferred and that is why I got rid of the Omega and went with the Bushnell DOA. I can however shoot a 1" or less at 100 yards and 1 1/2 inch or less at 200 yards with my rifle and load that I have worked up for it. Took some time to get there but that's how it works for me. I have never shot at 250 yards with my ML and do not intend too, even for fun.
As far as bench shooting is concerned, I also have done a lot of competition shooting in my younger years out to 500 yards with a centerfire rifle. I have a few small trophies around the house from that. Nothing too brag about but I am happy with them.

Now SW instead of being so sarcastic about it you could have politely asked "How do you shoot 1" groups at 250 yards with a muzzleloader?". Then I could have explained my error and kept the peace. But no, as usual on a forum you get some "experts" that are as rude as can be and ruin any normal discussion.

Lee, I hope you understand my explanation and accept my apologies.
