Two weeks ago I won (barely) a small competition that me and my shooting partner held, just the two of us. The competition was simple and consisted of a point system and targets at 60-yard and 100-yard distances. I sent these five rounds (see image) 100 yards downrange at a silhouette target on an 8.5"x11" sheet. This group, at 1.78 inches, was good enough edge me ahead of Brad, my shooting partner. This group measures 2" edge to edge, and following standard practice I subtracted .22" for a group size of 1.78 inches. Rifle: Savage Mark II BTV with uniquely-colored stock from Cabelas. Factory-mounted Bushnell 3-9X scope. I used the following ammunition: Winchester Super-X 37gr CPHP 1330 fps. I have found that my rifle likes Winchester Super-X cartridges, at least the varieties I've tried. I generally buy the 100-round stick and use between 60-100 rounds per outing. Thus far I've cleaned my rifle every other outing - the entire rifle - including the bore. Brad's rifle is identical to mine, including the stock. His scope is far superior to mine. Honestly, he's a better shot than I am.
