then a group of 5 at the point of aim.

Are you using American 6 O'clock hold on the Bull?

When shooting various Enfields at 200 yds. using a 6 O'Clock hold, DCM targets (12" bull) my starting point was to set the slide to 400 yds. I couldn't figure the problem until I realized I was shooting American hold with a British rifle! I found an illustration of a British target which was actually the top half of a bull. They sighted in to point of impact.

I never heard that one brought out into the open before. That in itself, is a single bit of important information to have. Wish I would have known that 10 years ago, or even 20 years ago. We all been aiming at the wrong edge of our targets with them things. We are taught the 6'oclock hold for all our service rifles over here, sometimes even a "flat tire hold" if you need to. But rarely do we aim at the upper portion of our targets around here. Thats great, and thanks for letting us know. I knew there was a reason for it, I just didn't know what it was.
