First off I have continued practicing for the 200 yard rimfire matches. Two weeks ago while doing some ammo testing, I shot a 10 shot 1.5 moa (3 inch group) at 200 with the .22 using Remington White Box ammunition. This was shot prone with sling and no external support or shooting coat. That was fun.
Last weekend and most of this week I was out of action with gout or pseudo gout in my knee. I felt much better today. I wanted to get a zero with my Service Rifle since I had put in a new front sight (.072). I got the rifle zeroed after 3 shots or so and then shot a 6 shot 1 moa group (sling, prone, shooting coat). The other four though were a problem that made me question myself. the were individually something like a 2.5 MOA group. As I was packing my rifle I discovered that my rear aperature was very loose. I didn't even think of checking it while shooting. I will need to add that to my prep time or pre-prep list.
The good news is that I am shooting slowfire prone better than ever before with both the rimfire and the centerfire. This is really good news for me.
