Prone with an M-14 I put nine under one spotter at 300yds,
they couldn’t find the tenth so called it a flyer.

Someday maybe we’ll learn the truth.

Watching the Zapruder footage, I never understood why his head would jerk backwards if shot from behind and wouldn’t the exit wound be the biggest hole which is in the BACK of his head?

I, before witnesses, put three shots in one hole at 100 yards with an M1 Garand from the prone position. Best shooting I have ever done. Unfortunately it was the “sight in” phase and none of it counted.

I have never been able to do that since. Now I am lucky to hit the paper at 30 yards.

Good shooting!
If it was at a high power match, it would be a “9 yes” refire. Nine in the 9 ring or better and ten shots fired gives the fired the benefit of the doubt that all ten were in the black.

My best with an M1 at 300 was a 100-8X. Best with a optic equipped NM AR15A4 was the same, just more often.
