Great pattern, regardless of the distance.(unless it was 25ft) You are going to cause a run on .223  55 gr. silver tips.

I had taken 5 boxes of different ammo to try in that gun.
Still have a whole box of federal partitions left.
I guess I will be investing in Winchester black box.
At least they are 55g. UMC fmj is still on for plinking.
BTW this is the 22" heavy barrel with the 1 in 9" twist that I painted.

The 7mm-08 did not do this well.
3" to 4" patterns, but the scope is "on" now.
Only one box of core locks through that one. Give her some time.
I will probably go ahead and check the latch to be sure.

Hey Partsman,

 I've shot some pretty nice groups with my .223 and .243 Handi's. But I ain't never seen nothing like that. Nice work. I guess the yotes and squirrels had better take cover when you are in the area. I'm very impressed.

Tony ;D
