What kind of rest are you using when you are shooting these groups? Mine is a really cheap one and I know if I had a very good one my groups would improve. I would really like to see what you can do with that rifle at 100 yards.

The rest is a homemade model but quite sturdy, I use it to zero my centrefire rifles also.
I also would like to test the rifle at 100 meters but I want a good grouping first. I will first play with different primers, we had a good time yesterday shooting rifle and pistol powders at different loads from the rifle. You can hear the difference between the 2 types easily.
A friend of mine is using pistol-grade powder(FFFg?) in his rifle, rifle-grade doesn't produce any food groups.

I've read a lot of guys complaining about misfires etc in inlines rifles with the std no11caps, luckily I found some no11Magnums yesterday which I also want to test. I understand the Magnum has a little more volume and a lot more heat, maybe it will help on the misfires.
The next trip to the range will answer my questions hopefully.
