Lots of 1/4" barrels out there (on the internet)? Over the hundreds of rifles that I've shot and handloaded for I have never had one that would consistently shoot that well.....maybe a group here or there but never consistently.....and I've been in the accuracy game for quite a while too.....Never owned a full blown custom but have had enough great shooting factory or semi-factory rifles to know that a quarter-incher is very uncommon.
How many times have you seen pictures posted that showed just one group on the target?....Of course it's always the best one shown and the others never even get mentioned. I shoot at a club with some serious benchrest shooters with some top quality equipment....they aren't shooting many 1/4" groups either....not while I'm around anyway......And we're not talking about 3 shot groups here....no called flyers, no excuses, 5 shots minimum to be of any real indication.
Here's an example......when someone only selects one group to brag on, the smallest of course, the gun is automatically a hummer....forget about the rest of the groups.
