Hope you don't shoot wabbits with 308win...that would be overkill!

More deader? :lol:

However with my 6.5X55se i was a tad more fussy and would strive to get the smallest groups possible. I did get some spectacular results. I think the best I ever achieved was a three round group the size of the group escapes me. Five pence coin ]

Well as we have moved to groups this is my current favourite group, apologies for the poor snap, the Viking took it with her mobile, I wish she had peeled the target off and kept it as a souvenir. 604 metres with my 7mm

PS

And I'm sure like me you pondered on what might have happened had you fired two more rounds. :lol: :lol:

Using the "on target" softwear, I make that a 0.231 MOA spread

Nice at any distance!

One of those days when things went according to plan, the odd thing is I was shooting for groups but not accuracy if that makes sense, it was the end of the day, I had shot a lot including Milsurp/.308/.338 and ached all over and wanted to get rid of the last few rounds as I was fire forming so it was a heavily fouled barrel as well.

One of the problems with shooting for groups is knowing when to stop. Do I stop at 3 or 5 or 10? I think 5 would have been more representative but I was banging in three and then asking her to patch, group size was not really discussed and the feedback I was getting was 'fairly good' or 'OK' and it took some prompting to get it measured.

I remember being on Stickledown 1000 a few years ago and getting on the V with my AI. By the 7th shot I was getting worried as I wanted a print off and did not want to spoil it with a '5' The problem was should I keep going or stop when I was still good :)

[Alpha1]

Isnt it all ways the way.
Thats the nature of it we are all chasing that once in a life time small group.
Its our goal in life that one hole group. :lol:

I had my fingers crossed, hoping you were going to say that you fired a further seven rounds and maintained the group size...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
