I'll look for the picture on my home computer, but don't hold your breath, this happened 9 years ago. It was a .317 c-c group. 5 shots, 50yds, 177 JSB 10.3g pellets. That's when I knew my AA S500 was a shooter.

What's your favorite shot group you've had?
- Thread starter thammer
- Start date
This was while testing a Steyr Lg100 I had replaced the barrel on and set to 12 ft lb...
12 ft lb at 100 yards
... that's an MOA coin... it was just shooting so well at 50, I had to try... The right cluster is the first 3 and likely all would have gone there but the breeze changed just a little and even though I held for it, still went left on the fourth and fifth...This was 15 shots at 91 yards with my Red Wolf - Wally, back when the MRD's were very good. All day was this good at 100 but the paper and steel were too messy for a pic.
My absolute favorite is with 20 gn NSA 177 slugs. These were hand swaged and I wrote about them in the "Happy Pills" thread. I don't have a pic but shot 5 through a single hole about 25 cal at 100 and was witnessed. That's likely the smallest group I've ever shot with anything, even powder burners...

Back in 2018 I built a couple 2011 type 9mm pistols for competition. I mostly just wanted to see if I could do it.
A friend of mine was at the shooting range trying to get a muzzle loader rifle on paper at 100y and asked if I could help. He was shooting at a cardboard backer that had about a million holes in it. I drove around the range and dug up a fresh piece of cardboard and stapled it up on the backer. It took him about 10 minutes of doing whatever needed to be done between shots with the muzzle loader so I decided to take a few shots at the cardboard with my pistol while he was doing his thing. I'd never shot at beyond about 35y...but figured the bullet was gonna drop quite a bit. I rested my wrists on his sandbag and aimed at the top center of the cardboard and took 3 shots. Of course I couldn't see any of them at all at 100y without a magnification . When I got over to the spotting scope and had a look...I was really surprised. My friend is kind of a collector and demanded me to sell him that gun right then....and I did. He gave me 6000$ for it and I loaded a couple hundred of those rounds as part of the deal. I don't think he's shot it since. Lol

My two best using my Thomas HPX sending swaged 22 cal 42gr slugs.
That one to the left, the photo in my Steve123 signature at 87Y, and this one on blank cardboard at 98Y of 5 shots.
Honestly I don't shoot groups much on paper, nor on steel either for that matter.
Here's 200Y with the same gun and ammo.
And 421Y but with my Vulcan 3 25 cal using 60gr Altaros slugs. Windy and was holding off 3 mils. Too far away to see impacts, we only heard them. Around 9" of vertical.

This is the best I've EVER had. 10 shots @ 100 yrds with NSA 36gn sbhp out of my .25 caliber SK-19. Beautiful sunny day with almost non-exsistant wind
