Sounds plausible to me. :)

The whole set-up is really attractive. That's a nice looking saddle blanket too.

I was thinking about the ammo I've shot so far and I think the Winchester 250 gr LFN shoots the most accurate. The others were Federal JSP and Hornady Cowboy Action 255 gr. Also the rifle seems to really like the Winchester. Cycles nicer than the others. I have not shot other ammo but do you guys generally find what you like and just stick with it? Other than the re-loaders who load to a spec they like.

That is really good shooting RR, IMHO......

Sometimes I get used to shooting from a rest and FORGET, just how hard it is to get a pattern like that at 50yds offhand.

Same for the 100 yd group; they're actually centered............OMG :o

Again, that is just plain, everyday good practical shooting.

BTW, your's are the only images I can see :D

You know the thing I see in those targets is, every single shot was a kill.

And isn't that really what it's all about?
