Got lucky today while lot testing some ammo at 100 yards shooting 5 shot groups. One of the SK Standard Plus lots shot the best. It was pretty dialed in to where I was aiming

Wow this thread is old...done some updating since then.Ruger american 22lr 50 yards. The scope parallax is set for 100 plus so makes shooting groups at 50 difficult
Had a good day with a 10 shot group at 310 yards that was under 2.75"
This exactly. My rifle ( for the most part almost everyone’s rifle) can shoot better than they can. I currently run a Kidd for nrl 22 and every miss that I accumulate at a match is mine, not the rifle or the ammo or the scope. Mostly for me it comes down to crappy position building and inability to read wind.
12 shots at 50 metres......2500X lilja barrel. Lapua Midas.

Five shot groups work.
As long as you shoot more than one

I happen to have just posted this elsewhere for other reasons and thought maybe it fit here too. Mainly because it is a 40 composite shot under pretty average conditions with pretty average equipment by a pretty average shooter using ... you guessed it ... pretty average ammo.

SK Long Range Match, I bought two cases blind and obviously it doesn't suck
bipod, rear bag, prone, 50 yards
Grumpy old man with bad eyes and the shakes
I am only able to hit 4 of 6 flies at 50 yds but I will give the green monster a shot when the 22” of snow melts…Time to annoy some folks.
I don't consider shooting groups a worthwhile method for exhibiting accuracy.
It's a technique for practicing hold, squeeze, breathing and dialing in a scope.
But not for showing the accuracy of the rifle, ammo, shooter.
If accuracy is the goal, ya' have to hit what ya' aim at.
In most results, those groups so proudly shown,
are not impacting at the same location relative to point of aim.
They wander up/down/left/right and if you were to build an aggregate group
from all the individual groups, y'er not going to like what you see.
If you are serious about determining the accuracy of a rifle or cartridge
ya' need to hit what ya' aim at. Shoot for score, not group size.
Exhibit the ability to actually place the bullet where you were aiming.
Don't be satisfied with a random act of a few uniform trajectories
that don't end up where y'er crosshairs were aiming.
Prove you can hit what you were aiming at.
There's a challenge worth the effort.
You want to see accuracy? Look at the scores and targets
resulting from a skilled shooter working on the USBR Green Monster.
@RETE8... there's only one question to be answered after you squeeze the trigger:
Did I hit what I aimed at? Yes or No?
If you did, that is what a rifle is for. If you didn't, what needs to be done to do so?
I've found that decreasing the distance from muzzle to target works.
Any rifle and ammo combination can hit a dime every time, if I get close enough.

Super sweet shooting.
And talk about flexing in the poors.
Voodoo, with sweet barrel, shooting top of the line Eley
And then using plywood as a target. I'll go be poor somewhere else now
