My Personal Best

Actually, if you want to get super technical, 1 MOA isn't 1". It's 1.047". So a 0.1265" group really = 0.1208 MOA

It looked bigger on my laptop, but it's still 8 ten thousands over, lol.

OP...should have been at Sac Valley today for 3x600,less than 1/2min of wind for the 1st and 2nd strings and 1 1/2 for the 3rd.

It's been a while since I've been out there, Joel. I need to get back soon. Just been out of town visiting family, work, life, etc.

I think this was the first 3x600 I shot with this rifle. I don't know what happened in that first string, but the stars aligned. I think I've seen some folks totally clean a string or two though.

How big is the first circle?

Orange sticker is 2".

You're absolutely correct. The group measures 0.3905" edge to edge on the long side. Subtract the bullet diameter and it's 0.1265" center-to-center.

If you want to be more accurate with your measurements, you subtract the bullet HOLE diameter from the overall group measurement.
The bullet does not make a hole the same size as the bullet because the target material stretches open as the bullet tears the hole.

By measuring a single bullet hole in the same target paper with the same measuring tool that you measure the overall group with, you get a more accurate hole diameter to subtract from the measured overall group hole.

I don't really shoot for groups unless I'm zeroing the scope or breaking in a barrel. These were the only 5 rounds I put through the gun on this day.

I have another customer who spends his whole day at longrange or doing positional drills and then shoots 3 rounds to check the zero before he puts the gun away.
The 3 rounds are the only 3 rounds he puts on paper so they are representative of how the gun/shooter work, not a handpicked zinger group.
I give him a hard time about his zero being off on the first pisture he sent me, but I guess that day was one of his first at the range and he was trying different loads to see what the gun liked.
I also give him a hard time about shooting only 3 rounds on later pictures he sends me...







All factory ammo.
Different loads.
Different days.
Some barrels are just really winners.

Nice group!

Yes, we've had this discussion before.

Harbor Freight calipers, can't trust that reading.

Just kidding, great shooting there.

I know that handwriting on the 1st and 3rd relay

I wished I could have been there last weekend. Had honey-do's after two weekends down in Coalinga... It would have been nice to get the dust off the 6 Dasher barrel.

It was the calm before the storm!
