One shot groups.....

Songdog · Mar 28, 2012

I was scrolling trough some files looking for pictures for the "krylon" post... and stumbled across this one. It's my best "One shot group" ever... story goes like this:

I was headed out of town to hunt coyotes for a couple of days, and I wanted to make sure the HCR .25-06 was ready to roll. So, I ran to the range with about 10 minutes of light left. Luckily, someone had left a target at the 200 yard berm with several clean sheets of orange dots. I grabbed the rifle, one round, and flopped down with the bipod. Boom... huh, where'd that go? Walked out there... Yep, dialed. Load was 85 NBT in front of 55.5 grains RE17 and a WLR for 3650fps...

Here's the stick... oh, how I miss this lovely rifle.

Let's see some more One Shot Groups...

Not the same, but similar...shooting my 788 in .222 Remington one summer day years ago at the local public range I scorn, a grasshopper landed on my target. It was just too much to resist. One shot made quite a mess out of him.

That's a dandy shot. The old one and done!

Checked the rifle, scope and load before heading out for whitetail with the .308/Rem 700 last fall:

The 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip hit the mark rather nicely! Did just as well afield on a young buck.

Once while hunting the Sierras, near lake Tahoe, I was checking my .243 with 95 grain BTs at 100 yards when a ground squirrel appeared at about 90 yards... then it disappeared.

I figured that was good enough. :mrgreen:

It is a lovely rifle. :wink:

I shoot "one shot groups" fairly frequently to check zero.

If the first shot is good, I'm often done.

I shoot almost exclusively one shot groups ... on the first shot of every load. Unfortunately, not that many are where I could wish they would be. :mrgreen:

I shoot this last week while zeroing the 6.5-284 Norma after mounting the 6.5X20X44 Nikon UCC. I pasted two 1" orange target about 10 inch apart and fired two shot, one in each target. I did missed up the left target by firing 3 shot from my 6.5X47 Lapua on it.

140 grain Berger VLD @2975fps.

Distance 110 yards (100 Meters)
