So, I went to a range on my own a few days ago. I practiced so I can learn to group tighter groups. I was using a 12x12 target at all the distances.
I tried out to 25 yards. I was doing like 8 inch groups at that distance? Maybe more? I hadn't really tried to shoot at that much of a range before.
Does it really matter that I learn to do 4 inches or less at 25 yards?
Does it really matter that I learn to do tight groups at smaller distances? What do you feel is acceptable grouping for you?
Edit- Ruger P345 with reloads of 185g LSWC over 4.3g bullseye with CCI primers and mixed brass
