Does a photo exist of Jim Borton’s group that set the new world record and beat C.W. Rowland’s?

Here it is.   

This group was subsequently bettered by Jim Borton, Dale Reynolds, and Jan Pritchard.

Wow! I just got Jan's rifle (falling block works). Guess I really need to learn the wind and how to shoot it!

Thank you. I was curious it it was a ragged one holer like Rowlands or a group of subset groups. That answers my question.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

Thank you for all the reply's. 
It was just a curiosity question with me. I shot this group in practice this morning. It seems a lot of my best groups are a combination of two subgroups and Ive about given up on why….Ive been on a high all day!

Congratulations.  Groups like that are few and far between.

Thanks. It was fun while it lasted, I got a quick lesson in humility the following morning. I shot (5) sets of 10shots ea. and these were my best groups. I was a little quick in congratulating myself on my first practice 250. When I flattened the impacts, I was probably .020” outside the 25 ring…..I’m gonna run with a 249 1/2! Wink
