O.K.......................
How much money invested in gun, scope, dies, brass, bullets, primers and how many years of cursing and swearing to get that?
Be gentle because I am just about to get started trying.

This really is an astonishing group. I am in awe! Congratulations to the shooter! With an LV rifle to boot!
I just read a thread on benchrest.com that an aggregate has been shot around .1 moa, and that the second place guy had a .13 agg! These groups and aggs used to be just fairy tales, not anymore.....

It is not the cost
but the challenge of trying to shoot those little tiny groups that keep people trying.
The quality rifle will cost around 4000.00 for a new. Great deals can be found on used ones as well. Just look at how much money people spend trying to make a REM 700 shoot. Not much less than a full blown custom.
The key is the quality components that are used, a rifle put together by a smith that KNOWS what he is doing, using wind flags to KNOW when to pull the trigger, and practice practice practice.
Normal everyday off the shelf bullets don't cut it either. Custom made match bullets are the only way to go. Bart's, Hottenstein, Bishop and even our own Opel bullets are the way to go.
Shooting a .047 at 100 is a feat in itself but at 200 simply Phenominal shooting and a well tuned rifle.

Here is what he posted on Benchrest.com in regards to his equipment... he didn't answer all the questions, I think he is still on a high from shooting that group. 
OK here's the equipment list when I shot my little group. I was using Brady Knight's 65 gr. boattails, Billy Stevens does all of my gun work, I had a March scope, a Krieger barrel, and the powder was some ancient Vietnam era 8208.... BAT action, Scoville stock.
I was loading with Billy Stevens and Eddie Harris (NC) and couldn't quite get on my load. It would put 3 in a little group but always spit one or 2 out. So I dropped my powder charge from 55 clicks to 52 and shot this group. It would make a better story if I had to shoot a sighter and hold off or something, but the truth is, I held in the center of the moth ball the whole time, and I was expecting it to spit one, but after the 4th one went in, I just shot the 5th one in the same spot. I turned around to Buddy Ross who was watching in a spotting scope and he said "Are you finished?" And I replied "I hope so", so I counted my brass and it was 7, with 2 sighters, that was it.

The caliber is of course a 6mm PPC. It dominates group shooting short range Benchrest.
As with all record small groups there is some element of luck combined with excellent components, (barrel, action, scope, gunsmith, etc.), plus a shooter who makes the ammo and tunes the load and shoots at his/her best. The equipment can not do it alone.

Appreciate the shooters honesty about dropping a shot or two. We all do...unfortunately. Sometimes though, the flyers all go into the same hole.
Wonder what his final aggregate was for the match?
warrenb, if you were to pole the top SRBR shooters around the world, they would have all loved to have stopped at 4rds too
Many a hummer group has gotten very fat with pull number 5.
