After seeing so many targets posted, with excellent groups, and then looking at my own targets got me to wondering....am I chasing those small groups? With the M11 it was easy, the groups were right around 1inch. With the 12 VLP (both are .223 BTW), have been able to get most < 1inch and a few < .5 inch.

Now, it had been a few years since I had been shooting and have been at it now since March of this year, so suspect I am being impatient. So what would you suggest to get those groups even smaller?

Add&#39;l info - working up loads - 69gr SMK, Varget, trying different brass. Have some Bergger 70gr VLD and 77gr Match, plus some 53gr and 77gr SMK in addition to the 69&#39;s. 12VLP with a 1:7 twist. Getting as much range time as work allows - get to send maybe 25-50 rounds down range every couple of weeks (that may be what is need more than anything).

Thanks in advance for any input - you guys are always great.
