N/A My best 23 yard group....today...pretty good.

I decided to work with my 300s today's. It's accurate, I like shooting it, but it's very fussy. I decided to shoot some different pellets for groups first. All 5 shot groups at 23 yards shooting with my buddy Sam and my wife Naomi. Note the group with AA10.3. See the stray pellet above the 5 shots......NO, that was the first 5 shots with the 10.3s, the larger group below was the second group. The second group I had it going but the pressure got me on the last shot,lol. I have a lot of 4 plus 1s but it's not often I can squeeze 5 in like that. The wadcutters I only shot 1 group.

10.3 group. 🔥
 
It is typically the last shot that does it, but on this day it was shot number two which totally discouraged me. I decided not to guit and press on for all ten.

Ha, yes that's the shot. But nice 72 yard group.I shoot centerfire benchrest and the secret isn't getting that super tight group as much as avoiding groups referred to as 'trainwrecks'. Pretty rifle, how about a full lemght picture.
 
10.3 group. 🔥
Those 10.3s shoot pretty good in all my rifles. We had two 50 yd matches last fall , it was windy and switchy for both of them. I switched to them from the 8.3s in my TX and won both matches. When my trigger finger and t.he flags were in sync they found the half inch 10 ring pretty often. Surprised me. It amazes me they shot so well in a 10meter rifle.

Most are afraid to try. I shoot my Diana 54 in .22 at 100. Goal is 5 shots at 1 inch. I have had back to back 1.5. I have had 4 cutting a hole several times but also 1 2 to 3 inches away. Tough to get conditions that will work. Come summer I will get to an old quarry, set up before daylight and hope to get a quit half hour or, so. I shot about 40 matches last season, not one in calm conditions. Windy and the big problem......Very switch. Wind wears the flags out.

We're thinking alike, but I'm going for the Superdome. 😁
