Here's a zinger
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:) |
RE: Here's a zinger
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. |
RE: Here's a zinger
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. |
RE: Here's a zinger
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.

RE: Here's a zinger
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. |
RE: Here's a zinger
My worst @100 was 3.5inch group with the winchester.

RE: Here's a zinger
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. |
RE: Here's a zinger
You should still be proud of that FG. You got skills!!!

RE: Here's a zinger
Actually i was pissed off lol. My first time with 385 grain greatplains bullets. I got them down to 1" groups now thankfully.

RE: Here's a zinger
Not a group but the first year deer hunting I was hunting with my TC Hawken and I put the sights on a doe at 75 yards and shot high and completely missed her and hit the doe standing behind her right in the side of the head killed her graveyard dead. she didn't make another step. Strangest thing I have ever done since.

RE: Here's a zinger
2 groups come to mind. The first time I tried BM3 with a 460NE shot a 12+" group at 25 yards, didn't try 100. Another group was an experiment with a 54 Bobcat using 50cal REAL 320's in a .022" patch, I hit the 18" target 2 out of 5 shots at 15 yards, then gave up, bad idea.
At 100 yards with a good bullet and load not tweeked maybe 6" to 8". With a good bullet and tweeked load the best was about .5" for 5 shots. |
RE: Here's a zinger
Oh, i have had some awful groups:Have a tendency to run hot or cold, little inbetween. Bought someones cheap sabots one time and tried them with my 240 grain cheap semi-wad cutter bullets. They would notstay on the Army silhouette target at 50 yards.
