    for me that is the single hardest thing about shooting
    back when a person could actually find .22lr to buy i used to practice with it fairly often
    It's fun. Great thing about learning to shoot in Nevada is the wind was always blowing!

    Dang at first I thought he had studderd on the keys and added one tomany 0's. But not to be one to call out I waited to see his set-up. After seeing it I am just tickled pink you hit a group like that. Beleive it or not I beleive you will bang one even closer than the onne you just showed us. Keep banging and setting those goals, that is what makes this affliction so enjoyable.

    And for those that don't like the significant digits, here that is converted to Parsecs...1.04976156 × 10-18 Parsecs.

    so it looks like my goal of 5 shots in an inch at 300 meters is for sure possible
    the gun has proven itself
    the question is can I do it?

    I am the loose nut behind a good gun so we just have to live with that. I wish I could go back 50 years. I once shot 5 shots into 3/8" at 100 with my MOA and open sights. Here are a few and some are 200 meters. Attachment 139804 That little pistol at the top is unreal. Wichita in 7R. The 30-30 TC was crazy, hit pennies at 100 with cast but barrel was rough as a cob, sold it to a friend.
    Those days are gone.
    To even tell me a pistol is not better then a rifle means you want a sore butt. My shoe is size 13!

    It is logical to have goals even if they are never attained!
