Hello Mauser fans.
Readers of my Mauser M03 blog will know that I'm an advocate of one shot groups. The feral rabbits, foxes, pigs and deer that I hunt only ever care about where my first shot goes. If it misses, they goes.
Here are three shots I fired yesterday at 100 metres with three of my Mauser M03 barrels, which were cold and slightly dirty, just as they would be on a hunt. The scopes are all zeroed at 200 metres, hence the impact points being above the aiming squares.
For extra fun, the shots with the 6.5x55 and 243 Win barrels (middle and right) were the first after switching them, reinstalling the scope and adjusting the turrets. If I'd aimed at the same square, these three shots from three different rifles/barrels and with two of them newly put together would have made a group under 3/4". I'm quite pleased with the way they're working.
The projectiles are all from Berger, from their Classic Hunter range (although the 270 cal 150 grainer is called 'VLD Hunting', for product history reasons).
:-)
Regards, Rick.
