Does sub moa at 100 yards translate to sub moa past 600 yard?

[Billinsd]

I should have stated my goals. I'd like to develop a load to be able to hit a 10 inch target at 800 yards prone, as quickly and easily, efficiently as possible. I don't plan on shooting farther than 800 on deer or elk. That's a lot easier than sub moa at a thousand, right?

I personally believe the Ladder at your max distance followed by seating depth testing is the fastest way to a consistent and stable load. You may be able to ring more performance with other methods but at the expense of bullets, powder, and valuable barrel life.

"Does sub moa at 100 yards translate to sub moa past 600 yard?" - Shoot it and see.

I dabbled in the dark arts of OCW, Ladder test and seating depth. I became lost in an obsession to make a small group, smaller and smaller. I lost friends, quit talking to family and became consumed by that last .001 I could get.

All that stuff can lead to good trigger time at a set distance, but it pays more to get out and shoot. Find an MOA load and go do some shooting. Try to find a spot to stretch out and see what you got. Go try a competition, I guarantee you'll learn a lot there.

rfurman24 - we need to go shoot sometime!

Where are you? Let's go.

I have developed loads for dozens of long range rifles some took a lot more time than others. In the last few months I have done 4 rifles all with Hammer bullets. I was able to get them all shooting sub moa at 600 yards in less than 20 rounds loaded for each rifle. I used 2 different powders on 2 and the other 2 shot great with the first powder i tried. I used 1 seating depth on each one. Barrels were proof, christensen, Faxon and a factory Kimber and all were good shooters with other bullets.

Sub moa 10 shot groups in 20 rounds?

Damn color me impressed.
