Now the hole at 10 o'clock is not related to the group of 5, centered around the X-ring. That was shot by my buddy Muffin with a bag rest.

Thought I'd try a different approach and got this results.

What I can't figure out is why I can't get one ragged hole for starters, and why I shoot higher than Muffin with the same load. Puzzled I am.

Tips would be appreciated. Should I install the scope? Maybe wipe the bore between shots? Change my shorts? Why does each target have two thru the same hole but the others are out in Kansas?

You didnโ€™t saw if the target was 500 or 600 yards away!!! If is 600 itโ€™s a pretty good group.500 not so much!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
