[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1799712, member: 110896"] My best is five shots, 0.135" (0.129 MOA) center-to-center from a heavy, lefthanded Sinclair machine rest and a B13 bag out back. 100 yards. Shot from a homebuilt bench. I kind o' remember it was 64.0 grains of H-4831 that was manufactured about 1963. 180-grain MatchKing bullet. 1:10 twist. The cartridge was my .300-caliber mildcat. I don't remember which scope I used. It was probably a Vortex Viper PST 6-25X Gen 1. I went and bought a really good scope after an excellent gunsmith turned a good rifle into a superb piece of machinery. Second attached image is the rifle I used. Millett scope was replaced with the aforementiond Vortex. I have no idea how I managed to shoot such a tiny group. I have never shot so tiny since. I was getting down into the .200s before I gave the rifle away, but never below like the pictured group. Just luck and the proper conditions, I guess. Mostly luck... On this very same day from the very same bench, my good friend JR shot a 0.086" group of five shots with his 6mm 40X. Best he's ever done, too... [/QUOTE]
