Yesterday I was out shooting my rem 700 VL SS 22-250 with some different factory loads.
Got to trying some Prvi Partizan 50gr rounds. And first thing I noticed, is bigger bang, I do not have a chronograph, so no idea how fast the load is, but its noticeably louder then the win white box or hornady's that I normally shoot. I also noticed the brass was marked up, more surplus looking then the nice polish of the win or hornady.
And being the cheapest ammo I wasn't expecting a lot. But I think I like it.

At 175 meters 4 shot groups were consistently 2 1/3" to 2 1/2".
I don't know much about this ammo at all.

But now my real question, I had one 4 shot group that I could cover with a quarter. Am I allowed to count this random fluke of a group?

Sure, but don't kid yourself that your rifle is regularly capable of 1/2 MOA performance. I had one 3/8" group from my hunting rifle last summer and I kept the target because I will never do that again with that rifle, it is really more like a 1-1.25MOA rifle on a daily basis.

Keep the target and put it up on your garage or basement wall to remind yourself of a great day out shooting.

Sometimes the fliers go INTO the group. Hang it on your shop wall, noting the ammo, rifle and date.

I test ammo all the time. Shoot hundreds of groups. Only a 10 shot group really discounts the fliers and shows what a rifle/ammo can do. lots and lots of groups looked great after 5 shots, but ordinary after 10.
