Rick Jamason, past shooting editor for Shooting Times mag. states that when bench shooting a rifle, ALWAYS rest the stock in the same place otherwise the point of impact will varry.

Now, how many shots were in those sub moa 100 yd. Groups, and what ammo do you use to acheave them? I have always felt that, as a hunter, 10 and even 5 shot groups are somewhat meaningless. Unless you are shooting prairie dogs you will never get that many shots in succession. I feel a 3 shot group from a cold barrel is the best indicator of what you can expect in the field - at least where hunting is concerned.
@ 100yds, 3 round group. CCI Mini-Mags. As far as an indicator of what I could expect hunting...don't really know because I obviously wouldn't shoot off a bag while hunting.

I've recently discovered CCI Standard Velocity & Remington Subsonic. At 50yds, the performance is outstanding ~ 3/4" groups are possible.
