That's outstanding accuracy with both XTP's.

Sounds like those Remlins aren't all bad. You've got a good one! Was this with a scope? There's a video on youtube of a guy with a 20" .357 mag Henry with scope whose best groups at 100 yards (or metres, I can't remember) are under 2 inches. Amazing.

Yes they are good groups. The gun was on a rest this is obviously not me, rest back and front. Scope is a Vortex scout 2-7x. Was one of the final remlins that arrived to australia.

When we tested the group at 50m, the holes were all cutting into each other.

I should mention the group was a 3 shot group - the first shot was on another target while sighting then took 3 at the target on left. I didnt realise it was so outstanding - i would have taken a photo!

Maybe I will head down again and take a pic this time to post up. Anyway - just was so impressed with the velocity and low pressure achieved with 2206H. with 48grains th ere was powder kernels all along the chamber.
