0.5" to 1.5" on proven loads, 1" to 2" on most loads, usually never over 3" even on unproven loads in the 80 to 100 grain powder range. The Huntsmans can shoot, if you do your part.

Both my Sidekicks are unfired at the moment, but I intend to shoot the new H&R soon. Just want to get a breech plug that will light BH209 reliably first, and that is not an easy task.

I have heard/read excellent reports on the Sidekicks accuracy though. They have the same barrels as the Huntsmans, just the underlug and frame are shorter/smaller.

My wife just shot a 1 1/2" 7 shot group with her Sidekick Saturday with #8 a 4" flier @ 50 yds. and she's not noted for her marksmanship (but it seems to be improving!)  70gr of Pyro RS and 240gr XTP bullet.  I can shoot one ragged hole with this gun with that load.
