Here is a couple of groups shot with my Mini-30 and some Remington 7.62X39 full jacket ammo. I left in the initial shot, which is usually found most anywhere on the target with no apparent relationship to the following shots. In this case it was almost in the other group. Y'all just have no idea how proud I am that all 20 shots are on the paper... if not on the correct target. There was a time when they wouldn't have been.

This rifle started out shooting 8 to 10 inch groups @ 100 yards and is now down to the neighborhood of 3 inch groups if you could throw out the first shot.

The Mini-30 isn't much good for anything I have found because the one shot that is really unpredictable is the first one out the spout.
