My bog standard Winchester 70 stealth in 308, and a leupold mark4 10x40 shot out to 1000 yards, no problems at all

Which bullets were you using in the '06 and the .308?

That's not even trying for a magnum caliber.

I can't remember her name, but a young lady set the 1,000 yard record for a ten shot group that stood for many years, using the 7mm Remington Magnum. It was somewhere around a 10" group, so an honest MOA group at 1,000 yards.
A couple of guys from my club actually beat her record about ten years ago. One was the shooter, one was the spotter, of course. They used a custom rifle chambered in the 6.5-'06. I believe they drove the group size record down below 5" for ten shots. Just mind boggling, really. They travelled to the Original Pennsylvania 1,000 Yard Benchrest Club range to perform this feat. They spent weeks there waiting for just the right conditions, one of those dead calm mornings or evenings with flat light, before they went for the record.
The record has since been reduced to just about 1". For ten shots. At 1,000 yards. That's .10 MOA. Absolutely phenomenal at that range. I believe, however, that shooting like this falls into its own category of statistical anomaly. With enough guys shooting enough groups for long enough, it's bound to happen somewhere at some time. Certainly not a reproducible feat, by the same guy, on a different range, on another day. Sort of like the 300 yard hole in one.

A hit on what? How did you arrive at your elevation and windage corrections? And again, which bullet were you using?
