Ergo this group could not possibly have been fired by my friend Ken from a run-of-the-mill GI carbine a couple of months ago, five shots at some 35 yards, standing, leaning on a tractor tire, on a cold day.
The aiming mark is 1 3/4 inches. The group measures 5/8. I don't know the ammo, but we usually grab a handful from which ever can is closest.
I would claim this target as my own, but sometimes Ken reads this crap.

If I did not miss your sarcasm, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the group. Back in another life, I was the armorer-articifer in an infantry battalion headquarters company. As such, it was my unpleasant duty to fire every weapon in our inventory. Yeah. Anyway, some of the M-1 carbines couldn't hold a group in a bushel basket, while some were quite accurate. No explanation. JAGSC
Me? Sarcastic? Perish the very thought.
I love my carbine, full flat-bolt Winchester, inside and out, but I doubt I could hold a candle to that group. I probably ought to try one of tthese days. I can't remember ever shooting it at paper.
You have my gratitude for your arduous military duties. :)
