Thread: Rule of Thumb!?

Yep I'm happy with 2" x 3 shot groups from my lever actions at 100 meters. one has an old euro 2.5x post & rail the other a 1-4 with german #4. Both setup for short range shooting.
For deer 12" group is good enough and for goats 6" group will do it. In either case I think I would limit myself to 200 mtrs.
My bolt action on the other hand has a #3 coutour 24" barrel and will shoot sub 0.5 if I do my bit.

By the way all these reports you read in gun mags make it seam easy to do this time after time. For it's not been that way for me.
I used to be able to get 99.x at 22rd indoor shoot so have some idea what to do.
