    GPR accuracy

    wondering how tight of groups you liver eatin johnston men are getting with GPR and PRB. So far my 50 yard target is a ragged hole up to about 3 inches and the 100 yards is pattern out to about 9 or 10 inches. wondering if I can tighten it some or if thats it. could just be my eyes.

    GPR barrels
