Large group size

[RichCoyle]

That's kinda the point though. That first group could have easily been the last group and I'd of thought I had a load that I didn't. I also think it's good to point out that out of these 17 shots there were 4 groups of 3 shots that were under half minute. Also, if I'd of stopped shooting I wouldn't consider this load. Truth is 17 shots for 1.5 min. Is actually pretty good.

I once fired a fourteen shot group at 100 yards with a model 34 Remington.22 long rifle with a 24" barrel of 7/8". I used that rifle to kill sqeeks. When I got back home I took it to the range to see how good it was. That's all the ammo I had left.

Let's say you have an honest .7 MOA gun. In other words if the gun is held perfect every time. Your 17 shots went to 1.4 a difference of .7 or .35 per side. Now think about how minor of a change in hold it takes to cause your POI to move .35 inches @ 100 yards and how difficult it is to do something exactly the same 17 times in a row.

You're a braver man than I am. If I was hunting anything with a name like that I'd be using at least a .45-70 or some form of a dangerous game rifle!
