It's why, IMO, it takes 5 rounds from a ML to be a believer.
It shoots the 1st 3 shots to the same poi everytime,I dont really care what it does for 5 shots, never shot at a deer more then 2 times in the last 30 yrs and there was only 1 deer I had to shoot twice... 1st shot counts to me and if it will put it in the black everytime the 1st and 2nd time Im happy, could care less about target shooting only do it to practice/zero. Almost forgot barrel is 14.5 in. long from back of breech plug, 12.5 in.of useable barrel.
