    Accuracy expectations

    We all set out setting up a new rifle with hopes that it’ll be a tack driver, but I feel more often than not there is more frustration than jubilation at the range. I’m in that boat myself at the moment trying to find a load for a cartridge that ‘is a doddle to load for’.

    I’ve tried 5 different projectiles and three powders, coming out with an average accuracy of 31mm across 55 groups. Best group of 9mm (one off) and worst of 62mm. I feel that I’m an ok shot, have shot better groups with much bigger rifles than this one.

    I’m getting to the point where I’m wondering if my expectations are unrealistic, so am wondering what is the consistent accuracy level you get out of your shooters? I’m talking smaller cases in a sporter configuration.
