tlm225: Shooting 1 1/2 MOA is common with most rifles, when shooting "store-bought" ammo, because it's sized to fit all chambers and mass-produced. Still, about two-thirds of all shots grouping within 1 1/2 MOA hits within about 1/2" of group center at 100 yards! That will kill a deer or other game with any decently-aimed shot at a deer within reasonable rifle range.

If you handloaded carefully, and after testing powder charges, bullet types/weights, primer brands, and with once-fired cases, you might get groups under an inch. But, they probably wouldn't kill any better than the factory rounds.

Glad you like your rifles. Good fortune to you!
