If you’re using the several of the worst shots? Then yea. If you’re using mean radius then .916moa
If you’ve never done it? Don’t criticize. Don’t act like you can do better. But never have. I’m not saying I’m a sharpshooter. I’m not! But your keyboard warrior mentality lacks any depth here.
im not really sure what your original post was about. You weren’t asking a question, so I’m assuming you were thinking people would be impressed by a 4.5” group.
Not trying to impress. Might be a 4.5” group , but 93-94% of the shots were actually in a 2.5” group which cut 2” off the group within those 3 shots. So it ain’t as bad as you’re making it out to be. Can it be better? Absolutely!im not really sure what your original post was about. You weren’t asking a question, so I’m assuming you were thinking people would be impressed by a 4.5” group.
then you said this odd statement above. You didn’t “do it 8x”. You fired a wasteful 40 shots into a single group covering 4.5 inches….proving nothing except your lack of experience.…. If that’s the case, and you’re new to shooting, keep up the good work. Any range time is good range time
I’m not picking and choosing shots. I stated a fact that 93-94% of shots were in a 2.5” circle. If you can’t see that? You’re blind. 37 shots out of 40 were in a 2.5” circle is it not? And actually, closer to 2” than 2.5”
So…..you just sit on ammo? What’s the point? To grow old and die owning ammo? 95% was bought pre Covid. $0.60-$0.70 a round for premium built ammo… FGMM will cost you over $2 a round. So you hold on to your ammo and ill practice with mine. Practice makes perfect. Not shooting makes you brag about what you can’t do
Just never occurred to me to dump 40 rounds into one sheet of paper, on one bull, at 100 yds., in one session.
In the USA you’re NEVER shooting through 2 buildings at drunklings. Much less in a bomb war…
Who says? You? Cause according to mean radius? The 2worst shots in a group don’t mean shit. So what you’re saying is at 500 yrds? I can’t put put 37/40 hits in a 12” circle? Cause according to you I’d need a 22.5” circle at 500 yrds. And that is pure unadulterated BS. Lol
He doesn’t understand that. Shooting 40 rounds at the same POA is not something a person with any experience would do. It does nothing useful. Shooting separate 5-shot groups, allows you to adjust and expand your skill after each group. You can see and work on your errors.

No I count just #1 & #4. That means if anything stands at 100yrds I’m likely not to hit it at all!
Does one take spin drift into account when shooting through multiple buildings? Or do walls cancel it out? Maybe it's material dependant, like 2x4+drywall=normal ballistic calculations-25%
Let me preface this with “it is a fool’s errand (and generally a waste of ammunition) to attempt to impress/influence someone on the internet by shooting and posting groups.”
Well I’m not trying to influence anyone. I was posting 40 rounds at 100. I don’t think it’s waste. I’ll separate groups next time. Overall it’s not that bad considering most over 90% hit within 2”. Of course I can do better. But hey it’s learning.
All I was saying is that is a ton on vertical and you would need a 22" plate based on your shooting. Work on the fundamentals
I wouldn’t need a 22” plate. 12” max. If I missed 3 shots? So be it, 37 would hit. Next I’ll do individual 5 shot groups. I know I can tighten it down. Hopefully down to 1.25” moa. Shouldn’t tough being 37 were within 2” to 2.25”
It was a waste of ammo and time.
To be fair, the mean radius reported (0.959”) correlates to essentially a 2” diameter, for the average impact. Naively, one might expect ~1/2 of the shots to be within this 2” circle. Counting, I get 17 that fall outside the circle. That leaves 23- or 58%- of the shots within the mean radius (2” diameter circle). I get that you’re trying to put a positive spin on this, but 58% is a pretty far cry from “most over 90%.”
That sounds like quite the fantasy situation you find yourself in, even if Uncle Sam was footing the bill.
Okay, you seemed like you might have been trying to having legitimate, if not misguided, conversation up till now. But it smells too trolly now.
