Yesterday being 6-1-2024 at the club i shot my best ever group with my Lithgow 101. My scope was at 30x and there was intermittent breeze.
I used "SK"-Red ( red devils) and shot at 50 metres.
The group was .222" I am chuffed ! :thumbsup:

And so you should be. But no pic, it didn't happen. :lol:

Well done.

I believe the 101 chamber was designed around the Lapua Center X round, and that it was their test ammo.
On learning this I bought a brick.
Being distinctly OCD, I pullad a box at random and weighed a couple, all were 51.9gn.
Impressed, I grabbed a box from the bottom and counted them, 51.9gn
OCD in full swing, I had to know, so I weighed all of them.
All 1,000 ever so lightly oiled little buggers was 51.9gn

My 101 loves them, shoots them one hole at 50m off bags on one of my wheely bins on the back verandah, but not holes that tight
Kudos

It should be able to yield a 600 integers only then.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

Had a sportco. 22lr (lithgow arms semi auto) prep flack jacket Howard days that would consistently punch 1 hole groups of 10 at 100m with winchester subsonics. Unfortunately it was destroyed by political expediency.
I cried... The groups would look as if they had tumbled in 3 dimensions, I would literally cut down bracken ferns to test zero. My farmer friend couldn't match the accuracy with any of his brno's.. Mind you it had a 24" barrel and it was resin bedded on the action and I had fully floated the barrel... I'd headshoot bunnies and foxes out to 130m and chest shots out to 250 with the. 22lr. But I knew how much elevation and windage to allow... I swear that little rifle was a tack driver.
