Grouping only shows the potential of your gun, Its not so important what you'v got as what you do with it !

How many hunters could take their gun out of the bag any random day and put their first 5 shots into a 20Cm Circle at 200m? Ability to sight it in and stay sighted in and Knowing where to aim at each range is the decider .

This is accuracy I'm talking about.

SO, don't stress too much about group size . 5 shots into 5cm @100m is fine for deer . Spend your time and money sighting in and establishing your trajectory out to 3Oom ..A challenging goal would be to get all shots to hit a 10 cm target at 100m, 20 CM target at 200 m and 30cm at 300 m . This is hits not grouping .

Seeing the results at events like the Hihitahi challenge and Ruahine biathlon , among self selected hunters with an interest in shooting, hit rates are around 50% at 300 m .
