[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 552592, member: 5302"] Tricky, in the shooting sports, a minute of angle's exactly 1/3600th of the range. 'Tain't the trig value which is 1/3437.7469....th of the range. While those records you mention are the rarest group size fired, I'm not surprised that Federal Olympic Gold did as good as you say. They shouldn't smoke anybody's mind. Like all benchrest records, they represent less than 2% of all the groups those record shooting barrels and ammo make. All the rest are larger; much larger than folks care to talk about. That aside, the 50 meter test target that came with my Anschutz 1911 has 10 shots in .192 inch using RWS R50 ammo. Even smallbore prone shooters sometimes go bananas; my smallest ever was 5 shots into .070 inch using aperture sights at 50 yards using Russian ammo. Too bad Federal chose not to spend three times as much for another lot of powder to continue making that ammo when their last barrel full of it went empty. [/QUOTE]
