It was 99% pure luck and I have never gotten lower than mid threes since and those are rare
One thing I always try and stress is that accuracy is relative, we have a thread active here now where a guys is getting some really nice groups at 200 and 300 from a Thompson rifle with a sporter barrel. Shooting .5's and .4s with a target rifle is common but doing it with a off the shelf sporter impresses me.

That Thompson 270 wsm sure is a shooter. I think it could do better. AT 300 yards The crosshair takes up the entire bullseye pretty well. Sometimes its hard to tell if my aim is perfect.
And I am only human. Its cold this time of year here. Shooting well is easier in the spring..
But I agree. Shooting at 100 is boring after awhile. I find it much more difficult to keep it together further out.
