No lying or don't reply, ok?

Here's a question that you guys might not wanna answer. What is the worst shot group that you have ever gotten with your ML?

You know we all have gotten bad groups in our day so what is the WORST you have ever gotten?

I'm just interested to know. Maybe I wanna feel like I'm not the only one[X(]I for one shot a 20 inch 20 shot group once[:'(]That oughta make all of you feelmore confident

I had a brand new Encore .45 with a 1:20 twist washboard barrel. I never got anything you could remotely call a group from that combo. Bullets might have stayed inside a 6ft circle at 50 yards, but I'm not at all sure of that.

I still have that rifle - with a different barrel and mostly home performed modifications - she's a shooter now.

10inch @ 50 yards.[:'(]
Problem, 95* outside and the borebutter on my patches was melting and not doing its job

Later that evening when it cooled off into the high 70's i got back down to business and got on target. We all have bad days.

Outdoors, you don't say at what range. How about I couldn't find 2 of my 3 shot group on the 4'x4' backstop at 100 yds.! Trying to push 370 maxi's. Oh yeah, it was windy.

With the apex I got a group which was 6" wide 2.5 " tall and centered 8" right of POA. This at 140 yards shooting 270 ballet with 80 grains 3f Goex. There was a considerable cross wind which was gusty. Not a good load for that distance in those kind of conditions.

Let's say 100 yards.

By the way, that sounds like me with the Apex. I couldn't hit the 2 foot target at 100 yards.

My worst @100 was 3.5inch group with the winchester.

You should still be proud of that FG. You got skills!!!

My worst group would be miss the entire paper target and hitting six feet in front of the target. I was sighting in a scope.

My worst group when actually trying with a rifle I thought was sighted in...9 inches. I was testing some different powders and projectiles and when I tried one it sprayed all over the paper for some reason.

Actually i was pissed off lol. My first time with 385 grain greatplains bullets. I got them down to 1" groups now thankfully.
