Just about one month ago I started a thread asking what the twist of an older Thompson Center Pennsylvania Hunter was. I had just shot the rifle for the first time and was very dissapointed by the awful group I got.
I got the information I needed about the rate of twist and lots of good information about what I could do to imporve the accuracy of the rifle. Well I would like to thank all of those that made suggestions. I'd also like to thank the guys from the Builders Bench for the suggestions they made.
I've been doing some shooting over the past month, trying new patches, lubes, powder charges, and powder. I've noticed a slow improvement in the group size. As someone said, it had gone from a pattern to a group. This morning I got a chance to run out to the range before the sun got up. I was pleasantly surprised at the first three shot group,off the bench, at 50 yards. I haven't been trying to sight her in. I've just been going for a group. It didn't take that ol' Texas sun long to get hot this morning. I'll do more work on sighting her in next time out.
