Oh yes, I will be trying other loads for accuracy in this gun, too.

My 3" 25 yard groups are not all that hopeless if you use the 1.0-1.5-2.0 rule. I am just spoiled by more accurate guns and it is disappointing to see larger than two inch groups at 25 yards.

The 1.0-1.5-2.0 rule goes like this:

Base line is the group size from a Ransom Rest.
Shooting hand held from a solid rest you should get 1.5 times the Ransom Rest groups.
Shooting off hand i.e. without support you should get 2 times the Ransom Rest groups.

For example you get 1" from a Ransom Rest, you would get 1.5" hand held groups and 2.0" off hand groups.

This assumes the shooter is quite proficient.

If I were a very good shooter, my 3" hand held groups would translate to 2" Ransom Rest groups. That is not too bad for cheap factory ball ammo. If I were a mediocre shooter, the 3" hand held groups would translate to even smaller Ransom Rest groups.

This is what the two 3" groups from the bench rest look like.
