As title says, I shot 20 5-shot groups over 2 days bench rested. I shot my HW44 with H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 grain pellets at 7 yards in my basement. MOA at that distance is only .07” and the 20 group average was exactly .035”. I arrived at center to center distance by subtracting .157” from the overall largest size of group. This .157” diameter is the measured free air shot diameter - not the actual size of the pellet. Pellets make a smaller hole in plain bond paper than one would think.

Hello @rsfrid

More incredible shooting from you Ross. I hope you live to be at least 100 years old, but when you go to the big range in the sky, tell Dottie to be sure and put the HW44 in with you 😇. And I agree with @Ranchibi that you concentration is awesome.
