Jealous of your abilities but I claim 20 years on you! Ha!

I know there are many factors to shooting these groups. How long do you wait between shots when you are at the range


i cant shoot for crap just great equipment. 5-10-15 minutes the barrel must be cool

the 223 has a bull barrel i can wait less in 90 degree weather i soak a rag in ice water and wrap it around barrel to cool it between shots

the key to accuracy is simple

good glass
great trigger

any one can do these 2 with their rifles it will make more difference than anything

good bullets and reloading practices

and last but not least a great barrel
