Even if it shoots .1 MOA or worse, if its a .40-.50 cal the margin of error is still dozens of times the thickness of the card.
+1. When I was going to UK, there was a "Daniel Boone" range just south of Lexington. Ranges and trails were set up for ax throwing, knives, and muzzle loader only. One of the stages along the trail was a double bit ax stuck in a tree. Clay pigeons were placed on both sides of the out facing blade. The object was to hit the ax edge and split the bullet, and break both clays. With a .50 cal. maxi ball, it was a whole lot easier than it looked. You only need to shave a tiny bit of bullet to do it, and it was a great way to impress your non-shooting friends!
