Thats just slightly better than one minute of angle error asd the 100 yard targets x is only about 7/8" in diameter. I had a barrel that would do that, 45 years ago, but burned it out because its pet load was about a 63,000 psi load, hot enough to take a fraction of a micron worth of steel out of the throat of the chamber with every shot, so I only managed to put about 3500 holes in things before a bullet first went thru the target sideways because the rifling didn't spin it up. But it sure was fun while it lasted. Once a fellow on the next bench called it to my attention that there was a horse fly sitting on the upper right corner of my target, so I moved the aim a little and ask "do you mean that one" as the rifle spoke and recoiled. He said I missed, I said lets go see, and a 100 meter walk later at the target, was looking at a bullethole where the fly had been, with blood around the hole. He had to concede that one. ;-) That same barrel put venison in the freezer twice at 500 meter+ distances too. But the next barrel never shot near as well, with any load. Yeah, I load my own too, cheaper by about half that way. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
