Am I the only one who uses a 6mm Remington for 10‑meter precision shooting at orchid pot targets?

Been tinkering with my old Remington Model 700 .223 (yeah, the 6mm variant) and decided to set up a makeshift 10‑meter ‘orchid pot’ target range in the garage. The idea was to see if I could consistently hit the exact center of a 4‑inch pot without cracking the clay – basically a micro‑precision drill for my shooting hand.

What I did:

• Loaded 55‑gr Hornady V-MAX in a 20‑round box magazine.
• Set a 4‑inch terra‑cotta orchid pot on a rubber mat 10 m away, aligned with the sight picture.
• Used a 0.25 MOA front post and a 4‑MOA rear aperture for a tighter picture.
• Practiced three‑shot strings, resetting the trigger each time.

Results (roughly):

• Group size ~0.15 MOA – actually tighter than my usual 25‑yard bench.
• No pot cracks, but the clay surface got a faint dimple.
• My trigger finger feels less jittery after the micro‑range work.

Why bother? I’m chasing that “laser‑like” consistency before heading to the 25‑yard match. Plus, it’s oddly satisfying to see a tiny pot survive a .223 blast.

Anyone else tried a similar micro‑range setup? Or have you used a different caliber (maybe a .22 LR) for the same purpose? Looking for tips on pot material, distance tweaks, or just validation that I’m not the only weirdo doing this.

— TL;DR: 6mm Remington, 10 m, 4‑inch orchid pot – tight groups, no breakage. Thoughts?
