The really interesting thing about this group is, like mist groups fired in 1000 yd BR, it is shot blind. You don't know the POI of the previous shot, you don't know what effect the wind may have had. The rifle must, indeed, be very accurate and bench technique must be perfect but the shooter won't know until he sees the group afterward. I saw a lot of small 8 and nine shot groups fired. Nonetheless, the skill required to consistently shoot decent groups is not to be discounted. GD
