Ammo group size

If you are shooting 4 or 5 from a group it is always handy to know where all the shots are going not just the first.

One can but dream of that scenario.

I managed a group of three once. Buck, doe and fawn in very quick succession. Was a big day for me
Anyway, I just now shot a nice fat pricket. Having a quick bite to eat, and then going in search of his mates!

Chasing tight groups has cost me a lot in ammo. At the end of the day, I've come to the conclusion that any deviation from a good group is largely down to "variable factors", by which I mean my ability (or lack of it) to shoot straight. It's the first shot from a cold barrel that does the business, so provided that is somewhere near the mark then I'm happy. Never yet had a deer walk out in front of me when I'm about to take my 10th shot off a bench and beanbag.

I Have, load testing the 25-45 and creedmoor plus a buddy, @JL Grendel, load testing his, um, grendel on my ground - going for an hour or so and 2 young roe bucks came in and starting feeding, both of which I had previously decided needed to come off that year so we had a buck each. That was the first night I reliably got the 25 over 1700 ft-lbs and got to take a buck with it within 1/2 an hour!
