Hey Fred, if you shot those today those are really good groups :)  It's been so windy here I haven't bothered to even try anything. I hope it lets up by Thursday ,I want to take a few rifles to the range and try them out :D

I have yet to find any Eley stuff...  My best groups came form the CCI stuff but the Hornady shoots pretty good too..

.25c groups are not even close to how mine shoots them... a bad group at 100 would be a dime...  ::) ;)
