Thats good shooting at 400 meters buddy, congratulations. I am sure you WILL do it again, and most likely even shrink the group a bit!!! I'll bet those 500 grain bullets hit like a frieght train!!!....<><.... :grin:

it is absolutely amazing what a little gascheck can accomplish with a lead or lead alloy'd bullet.   it takes the worry out of micro-grooving; and it greatly helps to substitute for a copper jacket at reasonable velocities.   mike venturino a long time ago (24 years or more) used gaschecks to solve his problems with micro grooves and lead bullets.  

congratulations on the excellent riflery!
