My HW95L groups are starting to improve BUT I have to let the rifle warm up from a 70 degree house to 90+ outside before it will settle in. This is a 10 shot group at 25 yards & large circle = 2".
The poster above has noticed with sharp eyes that you have two different groups, which means you have a slightly inconsistent hold. One way to check that would be to follow through and see where the reticle ends up AFTER the pellet has left the barrel and the gun has settled from its recoil. It must always end up at the same spot post the shot. Otherwise for the same initial point of aim you can have very different grouping locations.
That said that's a very promising group for 25 yards particularly from a HW95 which is not the easiest to shoot very accurately.

Seriously?? The target pic is 4+ years old but from my own HW95 breaking in with the same Hawke Airmax 3-9x40 scope. 25 shots at 25 yards using H&N FTT 5.54gr pellets.

Seriously?? I would like to see these H&N field target trophy pellets in 5.54 grain. Oh, they do not exist.
if you are referring to the head size of the pellet, it would be 5.54mm.

FWIW,
H&N SPORT FIELD TARGET TROPHY PELLETS
Haendler & Natermann are some of the highest quality pellets on the market today. Many Olympic competition shooters choose H&N pellets for their shooting needs because of the extreme accuracy, uniformity and overall high quality. H&N also makes terrific hunting pellets such as the Baracuda and Crow Magnum lines.
H&N FTT 14.66 gr .22 Caliber Pellets, size is listed on tin bottom label. These pellets are produced in these three sizes.
5.55 mm = 0.2185039 in
5.54 mm = 0.2181102 in
5.53 mm = 0.2177165 in
The 5.53 mm seem to give the best 25 yard groups for my HW95L rifle.
