Mark III 4.5" @ 100 yards

[pdude]

Was able to hit a 10" plate at 100 yards from a standing position with the 4.5" Mark III with CCI 40 grain. Not sure of grouping, but surprised it would hit the plate. I had wanted the 6 7/8" to reach out to 100 yards, but this one seems to do it.

Lucky? Or anyone else can do good groupings or hunting with a 4.5" at 100 yards?

10 moa at 100 yards is better than most can do standing with a handgun.

Most likely not with the first round, but once I figure the holdover, hitting a 12" gong at 100y with a 4" Mark-II is fairly consistent. I'd have never tried it but I was at a 'range' one day where someone had put the metal lid to a 5-gal paint can on a hillside and I was surprised how seemingly easy it was to hit. Now I repeat that exercise at my normal range on the hanging steel gongs.

As you suggested though, it's more the domain of the 6 7/8 just due to sight radius.

Hunting with a 22 pistol at 100 yards?

[pdude]

use 60 gr aguila and you are set...

Those are dirty, but heck it's a 22. I'll try that one next time.

I shot a friends smith and wesson 41 with a 7 inch barrel at angeles shooting range at 100 yards and it was 10 for 10 hitting the steel gong. That's pistol is way more accurate than I am

Set up a clean, large sheet of butcher paper up with a target on it. Put 10 rounds into it and post the results. Pretty sure it will look like a shotgun blast at 50 yards.
I know gongs are really popular these days but give you very little information about accuracy.
