Who here, benchrest guys included, thinks they could start at 100 yards and shoot 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 900, & 1000 yards and keep it under 1/4 MOA?

On the internet with no witnesses I could do that all day long.

I'm not saying it can't be done by someone in tbis world....
But I'm almost saying it can't be done. Any little missed read in the wind, and it is a miss. After, of course perfect ammo, a scope that can dial tight enough, and a shooter with impeccable form.

Out to 1,000 yards?
Anything is possible once. I have serious doubts that anyone could do it with any level of consistency. But if you shoot enough groups, I figure it's not out of the realm of possibility you could get a 2.5" group at 1,000 yards.
But to start out at the beginning and say you're going to do it every 100 yards out to 1,000 with one group at each 100 yard interval, that's a tall task...

That is a tall order, but with all the 1/4 MOA shooters on the internet someone I am sure it has been done.

Nope, not for me. I like to bet, so I'd say within 1/2 to 3/4 might be possible for me. But the wind is going to mess you as soon as you get out past 500-600 yards. If it's a zero wind day, or very slight breeze, that would help. With the right rifle and load, I'd say 1/2 is doable.

I think it's easy. Just build an underground range and go for it.

If it's a zero wind day, or very slight breeze, that would help. With the right rifle and load, I'd say 1/2 is doable. And a west Texas flat, plowed field. Put any terrain changes, and any foliage and it's a new ball game. That is evident in my range every day.

No...to hit that level of accuracy you'd almost have to have a tuned load for every distance. You'd probably run out of barrel life before you accomplished that.

On the internet there are already scads who do it all the time, "if they do their part". Real world, whew. That's 50 consecutive perfect shots at .25 MOA out to 1000. Including doping the wind. That is a well beyond my gear and capabilities. It is a feat that would require perfection in all facets.

If I could put 5 at each distance on a 16 inch gong all the way out to 1000 with no misses, I'd be happy happy happy. But something ALWAYS happens when you get out to the longer distances. And keeping it at .25 MOA? No freakin' way! At least not for me.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.
