Utahshooter,
We talk the same language as far as accuracy and bragging rights. And I believe you are correct that the hole on the target is not the same size as the bullet. Thats why (from all I've read and been told by even Benchrest shooters, the measurement should come from the center of the hole and not the edge. The center never changes and is reliable while the edge is not if you want to get super technical.
But something some folks forget, most shooters (as on this blog) have "general production" rifles and not custom built jobs. Anytime you get down into the .200 - .300 range...that is fantastic! I'd brag about those targets all day long. SO it looks like to me you've got that baby of your's hooked up just fine.
Now comes another challenge (if you haven't already been doing it), shoot 5 shot groups on each target and see if you can consistently keep that group together on back to back targets. That's become my challenge with all my calibers since I shoot strictly paper.
