I did wonder if my group sizes were, shall we say acceptable. But the two guys I have sought advice from, are showing me targets with groups half the size of mine. But, they are both shooting two band Naval Rifles?
Your groups are better than the Musketry standard requirement of the day with a Tower-assembled rifle. The so-called Naval rifles, or P58, are renowned for their accuracy due to the heavier/shorter barrel. Even the P-H replicas shoot as well as the real thing and are much sought-after in the MLAGB crowd.
