Jims suggestion might help you the most if you really want to tighten it up.    I use the square targets and aim for a bottom corner.    :dunno:
:yeah:  Shoot at circles you go in circles

I prefer to shoot at diamonds or, as mentioned, the corners of a square target as well.

After removing the copper, how many rounds did you fire before shooting the last series of groups?

25.

I bought those targets for the simple fact that they had smaller red dot aim points and 'crosshair' style points of aim....I lined up my crosshairs with the ones on the target and would hit 7 inches right, then dead center low, then high, then the guy next to me, then an airplane.....

However, I am no longer worried as I purchased a fresh start this evening! Please see "Out with the old....."  :tup:

The diameter of a quarter is approximately 1.2".

Yep. So not bad for 60 yards with iron sights with an AR-15 I handled for the very first time!  :dunno:

A few of those groups are decent for factory ammo. Pass three shots depending on the barrel steel and heat shots can start walking. When you go to shoot a critter you'll have a cold bore. My Rem 760 06 and Win 94 30-30 will start walking after three shots will darn near max loads slightly on the third shot. Sometimes it can be a rare sporter barrel that wont walk after getting warm. Are you shooting pre-fouled. A lot of that factory ammo also doesn't have the highest BC's in bullet application either subject to the wind. There's a lot of issues getting below 1 MOA with guns at the range like bedding, sun on target, target type, the day of the individual shooter, plus other issues. Reloading your own usually helps a lot. Any way with the 06, so what if your off 2" at a couple of hundred yards it don't mind.
