The lower 3 shot group I shot first - right at 1.25". I adjusted the sights and shot the higher group - not at good at 2.75" - I might have flinched, or the barrel may have been heating up.



I then adjusted the sights again and shot a third group. Two holes were touching, and the third was a couple inches to the left - I may have flinched again. This was sighted in to be 2" high at 100 yards - I should be able to hold dead on out to 150 yards or so. This will probably be my hunting load for the upcoming season.

It's amazing how much of a difference 5 grains can make. I've shot other times that has confirmed this - my rifle shoots much, much better with 95 grains of 777 than with any other charge. I've shot several 1.25" groups with both XTP's and SST's with this. Lower the charge to 90 grains and groups open up. Up it to 100 grains and groups open up. Go figure. Well, in any case, it was a good day.
