[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2785300, member: 100742"] Mr. Lee , [B] for me it is 1/10 of a grain for hunting bullets, and exact weight for target bullets. [/B] Example: The 115 Grn. Berger Flat Base Targets for my .308 . I have yellow Berger bullet boxes labeled 114.8 ;114.9 115.0 and 115.1. I use those for Bullseye Target shooting in my .308 Target rifle. This three-shot groupe measured .221 Center hole to center hole. from a factory stock Savage Rifle, untuned. unbeded. As per the rules of that "Score " match. The second photo is a three shot groupe that was a .162 from Center hole to Center hole. Last year I was 73 Years old and I could never achieve that degree of precision , from a rifle out of the box, without very careful handloading. It's amazing what you can do just being fussy!!! BUT as you can see they are not touching the dot INSIDE the Bulls eye, so I did not win anything. Maybe Ill take up Golf or something easy!!!! [/QUOTE]
