I would be happy with that. Mine has been over 2” with multiple loads. I found some 4320, it’s been good with it.

While the best I could do was 1.25, it never did bad for me either. Most loads using TAC grouped between 1.25-1.75. Rarely did it go 2 inches. And that is 4 shot groups, not 3. So it does seem fairly consistent in mine. One thing that probably helps is it is a Walther Lothar barrel, and was mated to a Mauser action by a very competent gunsmith.

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
