This is a five-shot group at 60 yards. Flyer lower left. The rest of that ragged hole was cut by 4 bullets, not three. The group was shot with no defined point to shoot at, just my attempt at "center of the paper plate" using a Vortex Crossfire II Scout set at 2.5 power.
the tears in the paper plate are from spalls thrown from Grendel bullets hitting steel about 6 feet away, lower left. Ignore them. There's a story behind that steel I was pounding with Grendel but that story is for sometime telling in September.
Lest one think that there's another flyer hidden under the nickel, same plate with the nickel moved:
Ammunition is MEN military surplus, 147gr NATO ball, lot MEN16E0836. That ammo was priced very attractively about 2 years ago. Shots were 2583, 2598, 2602, 2602, and yes, 2602 fps. PACT chrono. The widest extreme edges of that group (hole at 12 to hole at 3 o'clock) come in just under .750".
