With the following setup what level of accuracy can I expect, give me in terms of group size, in inches. I'm trying to determine if I suck, or if it is the equipment holding me back.
Stevens 200, unmodified
Bushnell 3x9x40 scope that is mounted too high
6 pound trigger
Hornady Steel Match .223 55 grain
Range 75 yards and 50 yards
conditions: cold and humid
Firing from Hornady non-padded plastic rest (provided by range) rear of gun not on any type of rest
Groups I am getting now:
1 inch 3-4 shot groups at 50 yards with crappy russian ammo, some flyers
2.5 inch 3 shot groups at 75 yards with hornady steel match 55 grain, lots of flyers
So, do I need to find a new hobby?
