    Yeah, considering that, got one on my 7mmRM, seems to shoot ok though (5mm group at 50m, haven't been able to get it to the range yet and shoot at 100, just a quick sight in the backyard!), just got to wait a while for the wife to settle down! They don't understand why you need more than one rifle! Just makes no sense to them!

    Can some one explain how you get a group smaller than the projectile?

    Show us your Varmint rifles

    Say its a 7mm projectile, a great group such as the one described has the tip of the projectiles entering the paper within a 5 mm circle, the resulting hole/cluster will have a total of 7mm added to it due to the projectile having 3.5 mm of width either side of its forward most point/tip, called a meplat.

    So when you shoot a tight group measure the ragged hole from its greatest outermost edges, then subtract the calibre you are using (7mm) and you have your group size.

    Groups are measured centre to centre.

    The other way is to use a Kreiger barrel.

    Ask her if she would be happy with just one pair of shoes?

    Ha ha, funny story, she got banned from buying any clothes for a year, when we packed to move here from SA she had 70 pairs of shoes, 20 were still in their box and had never been worn!

    Finally. My Grand Slam turned up from Optics Planet. 6-20x

    Took it out yesterday, couldn't get a decent group but it was blowing like hell so gave up on trying to get a good group. Save it for the range. I just plinked at some steel plates at 200m instead. Good fun.
