RE: How to measure a group correctly
Either one will give you the same measurement, (if you mean the outside edges and subtract)..or just measure the inside edge to the outside edge of the fartherest holes...
Unless I'm shooting in competition, I don't worry about it...I can eyball them to see if they are within what I expect them to be.

How do you measure a group size correctly ? Do you measure the distance from centre to centre of the bullet holes or from the edges and detract the calibre size ?

1. Center to center
2. Outer edges subtracting bullet diameter
3. Inner edge to outer edge

It makes no difference as any groups reported to the internet are 1/2".....always!!!!
Ideally we measure the two most distant holes center to center using (hopefully) a dial caliper.......but it really don't matter as no matter what it measures...it's 1/2"...unless you're shooting 200 yards and then it's 3/4"

Vapodog,
You need to get a new gun if all you can get is .5. There aint a deer in the world that's gonna die unless you can shoot .25
