It just bugs the heck out of me that the bullet can be so accurate in a slow twist yet still have that little bit of yaw/lean. As I look at your paper punched holes - I believe/think I am seeing the same thing that I experienced.

Grouse then posed an interesting question. As disappointed as I was yesterday with the shooting at 180 yds, in the conversation I mentioned even though they are not perfect round holes all would hit the animal in the vital area. To which Grouse asked "but would the bullet have worked?" For me that was a sort of a tuff question - I firmly believe the animal would have succumbed to any of the shots. But would it have been an ethical shot in that would the bullet had the immediate impact that a normal Lehigh does, or would the impact with the animals hide cause the bullet to truly tumble. I can not answer those questions in my mind. So for myself the right thing for me to do is to shoot the bullet from a fast twist 45 so I know that is working correctly.

The plan for me right now is to hope this really unusual heat in my area breaks and I will head back out to the Garbanzo patch and shoot the 1-20. I really would/need to check the impact the bullet makes on paper from a 1-20.

When you look at Grouses targets in this thread:

The 200 yard holes really appear to be what you might be striving for. Although one of the holes @ 100 looks a little odd.

Hoping to get some shooting in tomorrow.
