That last F-ing shot!!! Delta Wolf!

I do believe that would’ve been the smallest 10 shot 100 yard group ever seen by me anyway. I mentally and physically try to act like I’m not shooting the last shot of a group. In other words I ignore the fact that it’s the last shot of the group and I just keep on doing the same thing. Sometimes it works. Awesome group!

The more average group you shot and posted also, Is it good enough to be competitive in EBR?

I believe the highest score so far was a 226, in actual EBR competition. that was in 2019 by Nikolay. That's a 9.04 average. Best I can score CC's... its a 91/100, maybe better. That would be competitive if he could do it in the conditions at the range that day for 25 shots.

Pretty good... regardless.

His other group... simply phenomenal !! Very good control to put 9 of 10 in such a small group

Thanks. It was just one of those magic groups. I was shooting into a setting sun so I wasn’t even sure all the shots went into that same hole until I walked up to check it out and take a pic...

For scoring, it’s much easier to shoot multiple shots at one target than single shots at individual targets. I’ve said many times on AGN that I’d take a 230 anytime and that would almost certainly be a win at EBR or RMAC, even though RMAC uses slightly larger targets.

FYI I experimented with many settings at 50 yards before I moved to 101 yards. I tried various speeds with reg pressures at factory settings and wasn’t satisfied. Then I tried some Advanced menu settings with high 170 bar and lower about 150 bar. With each I tried higher voltage 80 to 81 volts with lower hammer dwell 2800 to 3000 micro seconds and lower voltages 77 to 78 bolts with higher hammer dwell about 3400 micro seconds. All settings trying for approx 875 +/- 5 FPS. I ended up using the below which seemed to give me the best consistency and 875 FPS with .25 JSB Heavy Mk1.

Great shooting Mike!

That outsider usually happens to me on the 2nd shot, lol.

Thanks Steve, it was weird the way it happened. I had shot quite a few when it was windy (like the second pic), then went and shot different yardages bucket and sticks to check my dope for the Oregon Event at various ranges, 57, 72, and 91 yards. I was ready to pack up, it was later in the evening, but still light out. And then I noticed that the wind had completely died, totally still. So I went back to the Caldwell Stable Table, and decided to shoot a couple of groups in unrealistic conditions just for the halibut, I shot the first five and couldn't believe it. I was holding 0.2Mil left, and every one went into the center. So then, since I couldn't see that great shooting into a setting sun, I walked up to check it out. I SHOULD have taken a pic then, but instead walked back to the bench and shot five more. They just kept going into the same hole and I actually thought somehow I was being punked. I paused before that last shot... And jacked it a bit... Those nine are 0.6 inch C2C. With that last shot its 1.4 inches.
