This question is asked with these parameters....the handgun is a standard S&W XVR (8 3/8?) , with a 3 MOA red dot sight, shooting 400 grain cast bullets , @ 100 yards, from a bench rest!

Would you folks consider a 6 inch,5 shot group acceptable for hunting big game....Antelope up through Elk, out to say 150 yards? Or do I need to get in a lot more practice, or give up (at least for now) 150 yard shots?

I was kinda happy as the red dot covers 3 MOA @100.....but, I value your opinions. memtb
