Default RE: Sub MOA good enough?

Good enough is a very subjective term, highly dependant on the opinion of the shooter and the application.

Is sub-MOA good enough for big game hunting out to 400+ yards? Yep.

Is sub-MOA good enough to win a benchrest competition? Depends on how sub-MOA it is.

Is sub-MOA good enough for you? That's your call.

My goal is to get my rifle to shoot one hole...not one ragged hole, but one smooth concentric hole as if only one bullet had struck the target. Perfect precision. Everything else is not "good enough". I'll probably never accomplish this goal, but I'm sure as heck going to try. I'm going to glass bed my rifle this weekend, and I just got back from Scheel's with a Stoney Pt OAL gauge and bullet comparator so I can precisely measure and adjust the seating depth for max accuracy. The next step will be to have the trigger worked on. It's got too much creep and could stand to be about 1 to 1.5lbs lighter. I will say that the pursuit of perfect precision has really sparked my interest in shooting and handloading. I just can't wait until we start getting regularly nice days so I can get to the range when I have time. Thank God spring is coming!
