This is a 4 shot group but allow me to explain the discipline
I shoot mostly Long Range, short range is only to sight in or load test,
I had arrived at a load and shot a 3 shot group to ensure POA = POI,
Then left the target there and packed up and drove out to shoot at 600 yds, (580 actual yards)
----------------
Some may not understand that shooting a nice group can be easier if you're already
all set up and comfortable and just keep shooting at the same point of aim.
However shooting at different aiming points requires you to shift everything and re-establish a new point of aim for each different shot.
---------------
So later I came back from shooting groups at 600, roughly 2 hours later and reset up at 100,
and fired a round at my previous 3 shot group to see how close I could put it in with the rest.
Meaning, The 1st shot and last shot in this group are Cold Bore Shots, hours apart.
I need to know for certain, that wherever I put my crosshairs, that's exactly where the bullet is going to go.

Last group first time out sighting in my 1885 Winchester by Miroku topped with a Leupold on calm day with Norma TAC-22 black box.
Sorry, this was taken later after replacing the Leupold with the repro Malcomb scope you see in the picture.

All are 3 shot groups.
This is my best single 3 shot groups and my best 3x5
Kauger BR2 action.
30BR Krieger barrel chambered by Alex Wheeler.
Arken 6-24x50 SH4 scope.
Hottenstien 112s

Edit: I use ballistic X to measure my groups. The .024 group was shot during load development. I shot that load for another 5 groups and couldn't get it to replicate. Currently running the 112 hottenstien with Lapua brass .332 neck, and 34.7gr of N130. Most accurate rifle I own by a landslide.
