[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 926723, member: 28191"] Group sizes were recorded in a lab notebook and then in a spreadsheet. This is the standard way our ballistics lab records group sizes. We don't usually photograph groups. Recording data in lab notebooks and then in spreadsheets has been acceptable for all our published papers including peer-reviewed articles, DoD technical reports, magazine articles, etc. I'm sorry if it doesn't mean your standard of "factual evidence." We had an article based on data shot with the rifle published in Precision Shooting and also a DoD technical report. Here's a link: [url]http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA556105[/url] As I wrote before (after reviewing the data spreadsheet), the 5R Milspec produced 1-2 MOA groups with a variety of bullets and loads, with nothing shooting under an inch. We were unable to break 2 MOA with the 220 SMK. The Savage we replaced it with shot nearly every bullet and powder we tried into 1 MOA or better, with the 208 AMAX quickly converging to under 0.5 MOA. [/QUOTE]
