oh no, i've gone and done it!!!! today i shot my best grouping ever with my .280 remington (Winchester model 70 featherweight). i'd say a fantastic group. using my personal handloads, Nosler Ballistic Tip 140 grain using 57 grains of Reloader 19 (maximum load, work up to it). Recoil is stout, and i don't know the FPS, YET... all i know is it sizzles, and you could hear the bullet impacting the dirt berm behind the target.

What range?
One hundred yards, I trust?

oh yes, my apologies. I've shot my Powder burners 5000% better in the last year, than i ever have... when i started shooting my AG's a lot. well, my rifle skills at least. my PISTOLA skills are lacking still.

It's always going to be tougher to shoot an airgun, especially a springer, so the skills translate nicely to powder burners.
As for pistols, just a basic suggestion for you would be to use the ever popular Weaver stance.
Study exactly how to do it in detail, then practice, practice, practice.
Remember, if you're right-handed, you push slightly with your right as you pull with equal force with your left.
It nicely stabilizes pistols and revolvers, especially bigger ones such as the .44 Magnum.

Fantastic group. I'll take that any day out of my huntung rifles.
