With those 100gr Power Points out of my 1964 Savage 99 243, I get similar results and never tried any other round. That is "close enough" for my short range needs for the 243.
That round will take the average white tail nicely at 100yds or less and it devastating on coyotes. I have probably taken more yotes with that round than deer.
I'm sure after some more practice he will tighten it up more. Definitely going to try several different ammo. At first he was flinching and being a bit timid not knowing what to expect which I suspected, it's only natural for a kid, but after a little coaching and getting him to relax and take his time and the shots started landing that close together while sighting in I was super proud. After the last scope adjustment and he hit dead center I saw the confidence gleaming at that point. The jitters are out of the way now and he's dying to shoot again.
"Minute of deer" that's exactly what I told him, just keep doing that and and prove to me he can do it consistently and out to 100 yards and the deer are in trouble.
Work so hard that one day your signature will be called an autograph.
