Ha ha, funny story, she got banned from buying any clothes for a year, when we packed to move here from SA she had 70 pairs of shoes, 20 were still in their box and had never been worn!

Oh that looks nice

They don't understand why you need more than one rifle! Just makes no sense to them!

Can some one explain how you get a group smaller than the projectile?

Groups are measured centre to centre.

Say its a 7mm projectile, a great group such as the one described has the tip of the projectiles entering the paper within a 5 mm circle, the resulting hole/cluster will have a total of 7mm added to it due to the projectile having 3.5 mm of width either side of its forward most point/tip, called a meplat.

So when you shoot a tight group measure the ragged hole from its greatest outermost edges, then subtract the calibre you are using (7mm) and you have your group size.

The other way is to use a Kreiger barrel.
