You'll probably hear it anyway, but take a little time and read through the FAQ and Handi BASIC threads at the top of this forum.  I spent a snow day recently and picked up a lot of info in a very short time.  Looks like a good group and with a slight scope adjustment, you'll be ready to roll.  Good luck
Will that bow kill an elk?     Sure.....but arrows are much more effective.

Clanyne_b, welcome to GBO your 223 ultra set-up looks great, good shot groups per your target, like GPR125 said look at the FAQ above on this site you will learn alot of good stuff about nef rifles. just read alot of the new and old posts on here and you can learn alot about your handi-rifle.

Welcome. If you look at my Avatar you will see a 223 Ultra. It was my first Handi, but it was not the last one. ;)

Hand loaded ammo is were the H&Rs realy start to shine , even some of the more finiky ones can be made to shoot well but be warned , handloading can be just as additive an Handi's .  ;D
