This model has the dust cover, brass deflector, and FA. Scope is Burris Tac30 1x4 Illuminated. Mount is Burris PEPR.
3 shots at 50 yards. Pic taken from behind target. The first three are from a RPK shooting surplus steel core. 
3 at 100 yards. The other holes were from my buddys RPK. 
So how many shots makes a group? Since Im high at 100, where does that put me at 200? |

Looks good.... usually 5 shots will give a good idea of what the rifle/ammo will do. Doing a larger shot string, such as 10, can be useful too. What ammo are you using? This. For example, last week I got a 1 1/2" group at 450yds with three shots. But the 5-shot group is about 4". My typical 10-shot groups are about an inch, I have a hard time getting much better than that, although I finally got some real powder yesterday so I can try again... Yay, more load development....

Federal XM80c 149gr FMJ....just some bulk I picked up locally. Went straight through 5/16" steel at 100 yards from a 16" barrel. Looks like your rifle likes that load. Get you hands on some AR500 steel targets.... that's when it gets fun... lol. Most HP rifle rounds have no problems going through mild steel. |

So how many shots makes a group? Going back to grade school geometry, it takes a minimum of 3 points to make a two dimensional plane. If you as a shooter, can place three shots and then put twenty more inside the same area created by the first three (or at least call the shots that go outside of it without looking at the target - you just know that they felt wrong), then three is all you need. If you can't do that, Shoot 10 and only look at the ones that are clustered together, ignoring stragglers. If you can't get a majority of the shots into a smaller cluster, or can't even answer the question of which shots were the stragglers, spend more time dry firing and shooting groups for group size. Ignore placement on the target. and just focus on fundamentals, getting solid groups for a while. |
