I'm at the range yesterday, working with 4 different rifles. I work with a 1920 Savage, a new AR, and a 1907 Winchester - getting varying degrees of success with them.

Last year I dropped a nice buck, and a turkey with a Ruger #1 Liberty in .270. This year, it will go only as a back up. I'm set up at 50 yards shooting the other rifles, and pick up the Ruger just to recheck zero. First shot, 1" high at 12 o'clock - fine. After two more shots, all I see is one hole in the target. Getting worried, I move the POA down about one inch. And a new hole appears one inch away from the first. It was only 50 yards, but the first three went into one hole, and with a 3.5-10 VX3 cranked up to 10x, I could not tell that it was anything but a single bullet hole.

That is, by the way, the second handload I tried in the rifle. It's running fast, too. Whassatt about inaccurate Rugers, again? smile
