My father once took some shots at targets on a 25 yd. range, with
.22 long rifle rounds fired from our .22 bolt action garden gun. When they scored it, they thought that he'd got fantastic grouping with five shots all making the same rectangular hole but, as the garden gun had no rifling, the occasional round which had actually hit the target had been going sideways.
