As to the question of why a good shot can shoot a deer easily at 200 yards with a 2 MOA rifle, he will not add 1/2 MOA of slop. And offhand shot at 150 yards with a 1.5 MOA rifle is a sure thing, and prone even more so.
My question is more to do with why anyone would choose a weapon and use it at a range when another one would perhaps be better. Its a bit like the bowhunting thing for me, why deliberately choose an inferior weapon. I would love an underlever but would only use it at modest distances as I have other rifles that are more capable at longer ones. So the question was why buy a 200yard rifle and try make it into a 300 yard one when you could simply have bought the 300yard one at a outset?
