You can't tell bugger all if you along and offhand shoot for example, because your point of impact will change every single shot, and there could be a thousand reasons why.

In saying that, I have found my ammo of choice (factory, I don't reload) so when I go to the range now I normally shoot off my bipod only, as that's what I need to practice. Need to practice offhand at some stage too but it seems to be frowned upon at ranges haha.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I don't feel like such a bad shot and it explains why the groupings are so good in this thread.

Yesterday I shot in my barrel and managed to get some great groupings from the bipod, I have no doubt it would do 5 groups of 5 shots well under 1 MOA with it sitting on bags etc. Happy with my new machine!
