The target pictured was shot at 150 yds from a bench off the elbows with a 1943 smelly (lithgow )with 174 gn reloads .

The top group was first and was vertically stringed ,the target was left unpatched and the rifle was examined and the king screw was tightened ,it really needed it .

The bottom group was shot with the now tight rifle ,theres got to be a lesson in that somewhere .

Dr. Beers grouping...

yeah, he probably got someone who can shoot to fire it the second time....

Is the "king screw" the "front trigger guard screw"? If not, which screw are you speaking of?
thanks,
Ron

 

[bradtx]

Ron, Yes, it's the front trigger-guard screw.

Edit: oooh I quoted the wrong dang message. I will get used to this new format someday.

 

[Dr Beer]

Mr Horton ,thank you for the compliment ,if something is said to be Mickey Mouse here that means its terrific ,once again thank you .

As long as its not Micheal Jackson ,the target is upside down becuse we are in the southern hemisphere ,here's a picture of 500 yd .303 shooting at warnambool rifle range to prove my point .

Oh, ok makes perfect sense, Is your enfield barrel a right hand twist?
