New 200 yard World record group

[Muddyboots]

That's the domain of FISHING people I believe. Oh @Muddyboots … are your ears burning!?!? Y'all would never tell a big fish story would ya?

Didn't happen without pics! Smaller of the "normal" size we catch..

Anyone remember the 100 yard group of .005" for five shots? I think there was a photo of it in one of the loading manuals from the '70's or ''80's.

Dan Dowling is the man behind the 6 Dasher cartridge. Top end rifle builder and all- around great guy.

You mean the one shot by Mac McMillan? Yeah I remember it.

And then in 2013 it got beat by this one after 40 years. It actually got scored at .0077. Most people would be thrilled with shooting the group on the sighter target.

Does it go without saying that these were shot with carefully crafted hand loads?

Of course.

That`s what I thought.

Which brings up an interesting question ( well, at least interesting to me.). What should one reasonably expect as far as precision ( group size ) is concerned at 100 yards, 3 or 5 shot group, with factory match ammunition? Will it vary from caliber to caliber?

Dan Dowling is also 85 years old

Don't see what the big deal is. A .243 cal bullet + .059 = .302" hole. It only takes me one shot to make a hole that size…not five like this clown!

 

[stazmania]

Hornady says that is not statistically relevant
