[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 548761, member: 9253"] "Nothing very impressive" doesn't mean much. The problem could be your expectations, your shooting skills, your ammo selection, the conditions, or the rifle. You may know which but we can't guess from the above information. My advice would be to carefully shoot at least one 5 shot group of each type of ammo you test at the distance you most expect to hunt. The target should have a calibrated scale. An inch grid is suitable.. On each target record the distance, elevation, barometric pressure, temperature, wind velocity, direction, and variability, your shooting style (offhand, bench etc) and the ammo used. Then photograph each target. No one can answer your question better than you, , but if you post the pictures of the targets some here can indicate if your accuracy is reasonable for the rifle and conditions and if it's not give suggestions of the cause.
