In my younger days my eyes would let me do that and more with my 686's and 657's. But, now I would be thrilled to shoot off hand groups like that at 25 + yards. I do love open sights, but now they are becoming a problem. I am not sure how to address the issue, because for me a scope off hand is a problem. I can time shots with breaths and open sights, but not scopes. I am only 50 but have glaucoma and have never been correctable to better than 20/30, usually 20/35. Oh well, at least I am correctable, without glasses I am 20/575 and 20/600!
Nice work!

I got to the range behind a storm,I did get some rounds down range and then the wind came in pretty strong.Called it quits and went home.Still have some loads in 44 special to try out.
All in all,I had a good couple of days at the range.The first day I found about 50 pcs of LC .223 brass,and a walmart bag of Federal Gold Medal 12 ga hulls.Then one of the guys showed up and took me to a giant bag behind the latrine--must have been several hundred lbs of shotgun hulls.He told me to take what I wanted,but what I had already found was enough.
My 29-5 loves 429421 over 8gr Unique right at 900fps
Sized to .430" and lubed with BAC
