I shot this group while working up an elk load;
360 gr. Bear Tooth hard cast lead with gas check over 26 gr. H110. It chronoed somewhere around 1550 fps out of the six inch barrel.
I used sandbags under my forearms to support and steady the gun but wanted it free to recoil to get a truer point of aim/point of impact. This was shot at 100yds. The scope is a Leupold VX3 2.5-8 variable. It is a super nice handguns scope due to the fact that the eye relief is constant throughout the magnification range. The group was about 1.7" by 2.3" center to center. Of course I adjusted the scope right.
It took a lot of concentration to pull this off. I had to worry about sight and trigger and not worry about what happened after. It is a mind game and I can't always muster the courage to take the abuse.
Just a point of reference for the accuracy of these M83s.
