So do you guys dont shoot 10 or 20 shot groups in comp. I bought 1000 75gr hornadies last year when they were dirt cheap. I thought you had a load for them in your 223.


Well of course we shoot 20 shot strings in competition you silly goose. I’m talking about shooting your black rifle challenge I never shot that with mine or daughters Valkyrie. I do have one for the 75 hornady.


There's a good reason to shoot 10 shot groups. You get a better idea of a loads actual accuracy potential and better idea of actual zero. I don't just soot 10 shot groups though. Yesterday I was working on some loads for my old swedish mauser for our military rifle shoot. Just about got a secondary option ready for the shoot:

Either of these loads will suffice. Going up against guys running modified CMP M1's and Swiss K31's. The boys from Vancouver do well for themselves, lawyers and such, so laying down $4,000.00 for a built M1 Garand is nothing for them. We had a hell of a good bowling pin shoot today. Just getting back from that. I haven't shot my pistol since the last bowling pin shoot we had. Well over 8 months ago. Shooting guns is not always about 10 shot groups, but to me, its always about accuracy and how well you hit your target. I know there are a ton of guys that don't feel that way. I hear them every time I go to the range. Those guys must make a lot more money than I do because they shoot far more than I do and often times in full auto mode. I was taught about fundamentals of marksmanship from the time I was old enough to hold a gun. Guys that have a problem with that, need to get a life and learn how to shoot.. When they come to my club, they get a good education...
