Here is a .90" 10 shot group @ 100yds.



Probably my best 10 shot group to date.
 
That's a good lookin 15$ hole!


Next time dial the scope so your impact point is different from your aiming point and it'll probably tighten up even more.

Agreed... When shooting many rounds through the same hold you lose your center aiming point and tend to just squeeze off a round somewhere in the middle of the hole in the paper.

Nice shooting also by the way. What rifle?
 
Good tip. I'll have to try that. Never occurred to me, but it is very logical.

Very nice!!!

I guess I am not the only one who had a good day:

1895 Chilean Mauser, 139gn Hornady, 19.5 4759
10 rounds, 100-4x (2nd score string at Military Bolt Action match @ Tri City Gun Club)
Everything as issued, iron sights.

Nice! We need more 10-shot groups:

This one was for score, not just trying to shoot the smallest group, but trying to keep rounds in (or at least touching) the X-ring. Still just under moa though!

I had a bad day... Couldn't get comfortable for some reason, so I could only manage MOA on paper.
 
Went this afternoon in the wind and rain, just had to shoot.

It's a new (to me) rifle and I haven't fine zeroed it yet, but with Remington 55gr FMJ-BT it did shoot pretty well.

Hopefully I can get out again tomorrow and match or beat that.

ETA: Sorry, it isn't a 10-shot group.
