Thread: 3 shot groups are useless!

Gidday All

Went to the range this arvo (after spending 3 hours hunting on Friday night with the wind constantly shifting to be up our arse = no shots fired) but the weather was poor, it was pissing down,and anyone who wears glasses will appreciate how difficult it is to shoot good groups in these sorts of conditions,
I'd say the weather added 0.5 to 0.75 MOA to groups, at times I practically had to guess where to shoot.

Anyhoo here are the raw results from two of my favorite hunting rifles, 9 shots each at 100M from a very light Weatherby "varmintmaster" 22-250 and my heavy "long range" rifle - a Savage 6.5/284 (which isn't by any means actually heavy, it has one of @camowsm s Bartelin "featherweight" barrels and is about 4.3 kgs). I have Ballistis-× analysis of the initial 3 shots as well as the final 9 shots which give some interesting results. I'll post these up after dinner.



The target paper got very wet so the bullet holes are a bit squidggy!
