niiiiice!

I bet that rig could do 10 under an inch and a half. Let that be your next challenge.

Great shooting! For your first series in your original post, minus the one low round, your vertical dispersion is less than 1.5 inches, which bodes well for the future.

Have you chronographed your loads? With that tight vertical, I bet you're ES and SD are pretty low!

Now to get that horizontal under control. I tend to separate the two components in my mind,may there are different factors that contribute to vertical and horizontal deviations...
 
Sweet!

Yes!! Shot the sub moa 300 yard 10 round group today.

Shot prone, from bipod, with rear bag, in 30 degree heat (BC);)

I have come close in the past, but always blew it with a flyer. A very satisfying trip to the range!:d

Minus the .308 bullet diameter the group measures 2.535

Sweet, nice shooting!
 
Gonna school all you so called experts right now that think you can shoot, giving advice and so forth thinking you know it all.

Now listen up!!

In regards to fliers...

No matter if it is going to be a 3,5 or 10 shot group.

Set aside 4, 6 or 11 shots that you are going to do your group with.

Now it is best to do this at the beginning, the first shot , you can do two things here.

1)Load that first shell , aim somewhere near the target , close your eyes , get out of balance , set your bi-pod crooked and shoot with the opposite hand.

or

2)Just take that first shell and throw it into the bush or behind you somewhere.

That gets the flier out of the way , then, proceed to shoot your 3,5 or 10 shot group.

Don't think it will work, try it. ;)

My min/max has been 30fps for 10 rounds put through the chrony everytime I test a batch. My reloading is very simple, I just use a RCBS 505 scale, FL size brass and trim.

Nice work! You can do ten man, give it a go next time:d



Here are a few things that have really helped me to improve my shooting, hopefully some of it helps others (I only shoot prone though).


-Place your rifle on the ground in front of you, point it directly at the target and place your mag(s) and rear bag right next to it.

-Take a few steps back, then fall in directly behind your rifle, legs straight and out to the sides, feet flat, arms out in front of you.

-Slide forward and place the rifle butt into your shoulder, pushing forward with your toes, load the bipod.

-The rifle should be parallel to your spine, directing recoil straight down your body.

- The rifle should now be held in position by just your shoulder and the bipod, trapping it there. Elbows are on the ground, forearms straight out.

- Now bring your head down and rest it on the cheekpiece.

- Shift your entire body left or right until the crosshairs line up on the target, do not move the rifle.

-With your left hand, pick up the rear bag and place it under the rear of the butt, keeping a grip on it with your support hand.

- Let your cheek sink down onto the cheekrest, pushing the rifle down onto the rear bag, placing the crosshairs on the target.

-With your magazine still out of the rifle and moving nothing but your right arm, run the bolt so you can do a dry fire.

-Once lined up, close your eyes, then begin squeezing the trigger. *Click*. When you open your eyes again, the crosshairs should still be on target.

-If the crosshairs have moved, shift your entire body left or right to get back on target, do not move the rifle.

- Run the bolt again and go through another dry fire or two until you are comfortable, not straining or forcing your body into position in any way and confident nothing is moving.

- Now that you are lined up perfectly, the only part of you that moves is your right arm to insert the mag and cycle the bolt and your toes to apply light but steady forward pressure against the bipod.

-Slowly insert the magazine and close the bolt.

-When ready, begin firing, paying attention to not move anything but your right arm to run the bolt, breathing, focusing on the target and squeezing the trigger, round after round. Pretend your cheek is glued to that stock.

-Be cognizant of any canting after each shot, make sure the reticle is straight (this really applies to me with that bloody AI bipod).

-If you have to change mags, do it slowly, right arm only, your eyes looking through your scope, nothing else moves (feel for the fresh mag, you will find it).

Cheers,

J.

You should do a video of your prep and actual shooting. It would help a lot of people

Anything I learned with regard to this type of shooting I learned by watching Jacob Bynum's videos (rifles only) .

Although I have shot rifle most of my life both in the military and recreationally, I had never shot a tac rifle with a bipod prior to owning this AW.
