I got a No.5 MKI and have a question

[butlersrangers]

My experience with several Fazakerly No.5 Mk1 carbines using 180 grain S.P. Winchester and Remington factory rounds was that they would easily shoot 1&1/2 inch (3 shot) groups at 100 yards from the bench. When the barrel got hot, 5 shot groups opened up a bit (2-3 inches). I used 180 gr soft-points (factory and re-loads) because I was using my collectable also as a 'Deer Rifle'. (Which purpose it served wonderfully without modification).
