Nice response, I'd not heard the Jeff Davis story. Not heard of the book either.

The silhouette account is the sort of thing I'm referencing. Within that could very well be the "10 inch circle" and the entire figure the "target". Also, who knows how well versed the reporters were in "string measure" and describing same to their readers. NOte also the use of the word "average".

I do not doubt at all the ability of the rifles and the men who used them. A shooting pal does the BP metallic silhoutte courses, and the rifles are indeed very capable.

Thanks again.
