Smallest 5 Shot Group in History

[Buckmastr]

Here is the smallest 5-shot group ever shot in competition in the history of the planet. Yes that is FIVE shots, confirmed by a moving backer. An NBRSA LV class world record, this also beats group size records for ALL other IBS and NBRSA classes -- even railguns. Michael Stinnett shot this in 2013 with his 30 Stewart wildcat based on the 6.5 Grendel necked to .30 caliber.

Kinda impressive but im sure my factory Savage shoots better.

100 yard groups are so yesterday.

What goods a tight group, if y'all can't hit the bullseye? Hitting the middle is the sure sign of a marksman.

The Axis, with package scope right?

Yeah…that alleged group isn’t even in the middle. I was almost impressed.

That 5th shot would have been nerve-racking

My Axis could do that with one shot.

No kidding. One puff of wind on any one shot would have blown (no pun intended) that group.

My SKS can shot like that.

Incredible records as it is roughly 5 times smaller group than similar records!

 

[crowellsr]

Wow! Hitting a mosquito on the way to the target could have caused that to open up lol. That's absolutely incredible!

Under 8 thou; I’ve seen one that looked very similar at my local range, but only to the necked eye. Don was pretty happy with his when I looked at it too. Sometimes we see things that we don’t realize how impressive they are until later.

 

[hollowedpoint]

My Cooey can our shoot that! At a mile too boot! Lol

 

[BigRobb]

That 5th shot would have been nerve-racking

And that’s why 99.9% of us can’t put groups like that on paper. If one could only stay focused and not get excited, it would be much easier to shoot straight.

I am no where near that cool and collected - I would have had to really bear down to send the third one, let alone the fourth and fifth one!!

In 2016, I had posted something I had found on Internet - so, not meaning, in any way, to take away from this .0077" 5 shot group, but there is a shooting discipline in USA using cast bullets, etc. - load the same case over and over again - 10 shot groups at 200 yards: What I posted:

While browsing the web, I found an NRA article here: ht tp://www.castpics.net/subsite2/ClassicWorks/NRA%20Cast%20Sup1.pdf Scroll down to page 10 and read how a Mr. James Walsh, in 1978, broke a 77 year old record of shooting 10 consecutive cast bullets into a .521" group. The previous record was set in 1901 with a 10 shot group of .727" @ 200 yards. Note that these groups were shot in "shoulder to shoulder" competition. Breech loaded cast bullet, the same brass case re-primed and re-charged over and over for the 10 shots, and all completed in 15 minutes.

That web site has some really great old school reference material - free for downloading.

I don't even need to pull the trigger on my Remmy 700, it groups by itself.
