Group Therapy

[Ggreen]

Post groups with the gun that did them. Feel free to cherry pick.

I'll start, this gun is generally a 1 minute rifle. Rest of the groups yesterday were just under 1moa.

Definitely cherry picked here. Collage put together of the rifle and groups well after the fact (2 best groups I've shot with this rifle)

Two 5 round groups at 100 yards out of my cheap Thompson Center compass 6.5 creedmoor. 140gr bthp handloads

Have some cherry picking.

Nice work

No cherry picking here.Typical groups with average grade ammo.

I'll get some more later.

How far was that?

These pics pretty much summarize the frustration inherent with 22lr. Always that 1 flier! I've had it explained a couple times that the big difference in expensive vs regular 22lr ammo isn't so much that it groups better. You are paying to reduce the # of fliers that are of ammo origin.

Yardage needs to be reported in these posts or group size means nothing.

Heres my precision built 10/22. The whole target wouldn't fit making the collage photo but shows 4 different Amos I used. I had run a 5 shot fouling group on secondary target before each of the 5 round groups in the pic. 50 yards on a windless day

Here's my group; group of pecaan thieves. Browning Buckmark Carbine - Nikon scope - Surefire light for night-time thieves. Couple of you other guys did OK too. Mine tastes better in sausage gravy, though.

50 yards, 10 shot groups.

That stray hole on the Aguila group is not a flyer. I was in the process of sighting in the scope and that is first shot fired, adjusted, then shot for group.

Nice work

That was before I put the timney trigger in.
I think it proves, even with a #12lb trigger, with enough persistence you can still make nice groups.

It actually shoots consistently better than a lot of my ARs, I've learned that it heavily depends on how you rest the rifle on something. Pressure on the handguard reduces accuracy a bit, but if you rest on the trigger guard module, it can deliver surprising accuracy.

I don't think as I get older and my eye sight keeps getting worse that I can eek out much better than that with anything. I may have to drop my 3-15x on it sometime with some better ammo and see what I can do. The acog's chevron is just so precise of a point that it really feels a lot easier than a crosshair.

All these great modern rifles, good looking groups. Here's an old Colt Pocket Hammer at 10 yards.

 

[wtburnette]

Mine aren't as good as most of yours. I believe the distance was 50 yards.

I mainly shoot iron sights, this was about 125 yards with a Persian 98/29 in 8mm mauser that I was trying out for the first time today. The 10 shot grouping was figuring out the Kentucky windage, final 5 shot grouping was a little more dialed in.

Tikka T3 in .223, Vortex Diamonback HP 3-12x42 scope, Hornady Black 75 gr HPBT factory ammo, 5 shot groups @150 yards. Shot the first, was blown away so shot the second. I was having an exceptional eye day and the weather was dead calm.
