I was at the range today doing a final check on my hunting rifle. There was a gentleman at the range with a Handi 223 that he called a "sweet 16"..... It had a nice shorth barrel and seemed to shoot very nice. We exchanged Handi info and I told him of this site with it's wealth of Handi info.
Then he removed a 1916 SMLE 303 British rifle from the his case. He explained he was fond of collecting old rifles and it was in nice shape. He was trying to get this on paper at 50 yards and low and behold....... Key Holes ...... perfect key holes all over the place. He made some sight adjustments and tried again on a fresh target. Well the 5 shots were all in a 8" x 10" area and ALL key holed! It was an impressive target and one was only 1/2" from the bull.
It was the most classic example and most consistent I have ever seen. I regret not bringing along my camera.
