Yes Rocky, i see a lot of guys buy a super boomer and then can`t shoot it. Just had a fellow show up with a .338 ultra mag he said did`nt shoot......
So true, but then there are the surprises. A guy showed up at the Anchorage range a few years ago just before caribou season. He sat at the bench next to mine wearing safari-grade shirt and shorts, fancy boots, aviator glasses and a B'wana hat - with a brand new Weatherby MkV Accumark (with brake) in .338-.378! He proceeded to load it up with 250-grain factory loads and held the rifle above the bench in an offhand/sitting position. He fired off three quick shots, and I covertly snuck a peak through my spotting scope at his target. I was shocked to see a group just over 1" at 100 yards, a few inches to the right of the X-ring. He made a sight adjustment, fired off three more rapid fire and cased his rifle - he said he was ready for the hunt. I looked at his targets again - another group under 1.5" at 100 yards, this one three inches directly above the x-ring! He really was ready, and with one of the biggest/loudest sooperboomers yuo can buy.
