Default Here's my target, show me yours

This is not necessarily outstanding or anything, but this is a group that I shot at 100 yards with my .338 WinMag recently. These are the bullets I'm going to hunt deer with this year. I loaded them myself. BarnesX Triple Shock 185 grains, with 63.9 grains of IMR 4350 powder. This is a five shot group. No, I didn't miss the target on the 5th shot. But I'm not 100% sure which hole had two bullets go through it; it was either the top one or the middle one. Sorry the picture is so fuzzy, but the calipers is set at 1.56".

I'm sure plenty of you out there can show me up here, so bring it on!!! I'm interested in seeing what you all have done - good or bad. I'm working on developing a more accurate load for this gun, and trying to figure out how to shoot more steadily. I can group them in about the size of my fist at 200 yards, but after that it gets pretty pathetic.

Anyway, click on the picture to view it closer.



IF YOU HAVE A TARGET TO SHOW EVERYBODY, JUST POST IT UNDER THIS THREAD SO AS NOT TO CREATE A LONG LIST OF NEW THREADS. NO RULES, JUST SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.

Here's 2 two shot groups out of a 20 inch shotgun (Ithaca) 12 ga.

The two left holes are Lightfield sabots. The two right holes are Remington copper sabots. Not too shabby for a shotgun at 100. The shots are 2 to 3 inches high at 100. I should be good to 130/140yds although the longest shot I ever made on a deer was 95 paces with this same shotty.

It's a DPMS AR15 in .223 Remington. Stock A3 upper and a JP trigger in the DPMS lower with good glass in a solid mount.
