Great day at the range today!

Today I shot an honest half-inch group with my .223 Contender (14" Bull barrel) at 100 yds., off a Hornady Delta-rest with a sand bag under the pistol grip.
My friend and I spent the day shooting rifles at 100 & 300 yds. at the Fusilier Complex. I also shot my Contender with 14" .223 & 30-30 barrels. I was chronographing handloads for the .223 Contender and found this one particular load was shooting really good groups with 55 grain PSP bullets. My next load to chrono was the same load with the Hornady 55 grain V-Max bullets so I shot a "fresh target" and got the group in the attached photo's.
By the way, the load was 27.5 gr. H380.

That is a great group from a handgun. My bolt gun has a hard time doing it sometimes and is made to do it. Keep that load handy, it is "the one".

The Hornday V-Max and A-Max are great bullets. My 223 bolt gun and AR both like them but I use Varget. I might give the H380 a try.
