Howa mini in factory stock, heavy 20" barrel.
Was with the bench rest guys, they have a small informal competition. there is diffrent classes, I was the hunter klass (ie, max weight around 4kg, max 12x zoom, only separate rests or bipods allowed).
5 x 5 shots. Avrage 13-17mm. One group was larger, 34mm, but that was because i tried the v-max 95 i had loaded up. They had shot better.
Anyways, the 4 good groups was 13-17 and was 140 ELD-M (group 1 17mm), group 3-4-5 scenar 123 all 13-15mm.
I would have won the class if it wherent for the 95 vmax that shot like crap, the winner was avrage 18mm.
100 meters
There was a guy with a 308 that had 20k shots through the barrel and he still performed 20mm avrage..
Never shoot groups as good as when I do it on these mini-competitions. Wincall is paramount, without them its basicly impossible to go sub moa reliable. Everyone can have a great group now and then, but not 5x5 over 5 7-minute sessions.
