[QUOTE="Serenity Bushcraft, post: 958562, member: 8852"] Here is an update on the testing........ I have decided to stop using paper targets for this test. I have already determined that this rifle is accurate so measuring groups is not really needed. I will still attempt to "ballpark" a rough group size based on the impacts on the steel plate. So for all the future testing the target will be a 12" x 12" steel plate suspended 36" off the ground. I have to get the target above the grass. This will make spotting the shots a little more difficult but not impossible. Tommorow I plan on stretching the range out as far as my rifle/scope combination will allow. To ensure that the resulsts are repetable I will only use hold overs using a mil-dot scope. For that I will have to swap scopes. So lets hope that I have enough internal adjustment to get to 400 yards. In any case I will post the results here. Well here is looking at a good day at the range tommorow.............CHEERS [/QUOTE]
