Can I ask what the actual size of these groups are that I'm looking at?
Or at least say, #2 or 3, so I can get a better feel for the actual group sizes falling on either side of it?

A testament to how good the SMK is.

No surprise on PRVI. Although solid, reliable ammo. A mile from being accurate stuff.
