Default picked up a savage .270 and right out of the box...

It was one of those that comes packaged with the Simmons scope, Anyway, I decided to give it a test shot to make sure everything is working so I took it to the back yard and set up a folgers coffee can and walked 25 steps (and since i'm almost 6'1" i figured this was close to 25 yards?) the bullet punched a very clean hole through both sides of the can exactly where i was aiming and the can didn't even budge. I was using the cheapest ammunition the shop had, some soft point 130 grain Federals.

I'm assuming this is a good sign?
