Is that 3 or 5 shots? That's a great group either way.

Great shootin', but don't chicken out at 3 shots. You'll have to shoot 15 like that to be the top dog.

Very Nice shooting. I will have to give that load a try, I have had good luck with 26.7 of H4895 and 39's also you might want to give the reloaders 10x a try. I think 25.1 and 40 bergers work good too. I think its one Skipper posted.

Nice shooting Ruger No. 1. With groups like that you had better enter the Postal Shoot. I'd say you have a good chance.

Personally I'd take that as a compliment.
Without a little thought we'd still be throwing rocks

Excellent group. Try some more and by all means enter the shoot.
The only negative I see is that load must be pretty slow. If your just punchin paper at close range velocity does'nt mean diddley.
If you ever want to whack a yote or something you might want to move up a node or two.
Good work, Good luck,

That's two 'thinks' in one post. The whole rest o' the thread, including the title, has only one 'think'. Does that mean the rest of us ain't deep 'thinkers'? I'm 'thinkin' so......

I'm 'thinking' again...... I think my feeble attempt at humor, kinda slipped over you guy's heads........But, while doing all this 'thinking', I 'think' that ol' ruger found a load.......
