When determining scoring on a ring target, to the best of my knowledge ( ), the standard is the "leaded edge" of the hole. If the leaded edge breaks or touches the scoring line, it counts for that higher score.
That's how I measure groups, as well. Inner edge to outer edge of furthest impacts and then a quick center-to-center check to verify.
It seems like some paper targets (thick/dense) tear very near the leaded edge and some tear very inconsistently.
See, we just needed someone smarter than me to explain it better.
I thought you did an excellent job explaining the realities of measuring groups.
As long as the same method is used by the same person to measure groups shot on the same paper and backer, you have comparable results. Since this is rarely the case on INGO, I tend not to compare absolute numbers.
As long as I get to score my own target.You guys can settle it with a shoot off.
Been taking a break for a while. Also I've been busy with work and family stuff so haven't done a lot of shooting lately. Did pick up a new T1x a few months back that is still a virgin and going to Form 1 a couple of suppressors...Thanks for renewing this thread. Nobody has posted any photos, target results, comments, nuttin. Come on .22lr shooters lets hear from you.
Dad Smith, I bought some Eley Force last year thinking it was the same as Eley Action Plus (rebranded seconds for ammo that doesn't meet their standards), they have the same specs. But it didn't shoot as well as the Action Plus in a Ruger Precision Rimfire. I thought it was odd since it was same manufacturer and same specs.
You have a lot more self control than me to be able to wait months to shoot a new gun.Been taking a break for a while.

Self control? Me? hahahahahaha Nope, just a lack of time. Only shooting I've done the last few months was to check the scopes on my yote rigs, and that was rushed at that.You have a lot more self control than me to be able to wait months to shoot a new gun.
Thanks Mongo! It was really nice to unplug for a while.Welcome back John, I for one missed your avatar!
I'm gonna keep this thread alive even if it means boring everyone. Here is my last target for 2021.
The black targets are used just for sighting and checking the wind, they were not included in my measurement of average group size.
These were shot from a bench with front and rear bags, CZ 457 MTR, Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44 scope, SK Standard + ammo at 50 yds.
I am sympathetic to GMCTTR's goal of having the 4th/5th shots stay with the herd.

Despite covid 2021 has been a pretty good year for me. Hoping for another good year in 2022 and wishing the same for INGO.

I know what you mean, the last time I shot rifles I was determined to take it back to 50 yds since 100 yds wasn't bringing me the happiness that 50 yds did.VERY nice shooting.
I did not fare as well in yesterdays shooting.
