This one looked good on scope but once I went to the spotter I saw the flier. 9 rounds into 2.1" and the 10th makes it a no-go.
I will continue to chase that sub 2" goal.
Thank you Sir! Doncha just hate it when that happens.. I got my flyers right off the bat and tried to work around them but that kinda went southy on me. So 50% on the day isnt bad.
Gotta try again.. Im one that just cant leave well enough alone!
So.. whats next?
The factory moa shoot I guess and tighter groups! Good luck on sub 2" groups. Longer days and warmer weather ahead will help im sure!
This was actually the final step of my load development, I wanted to make sure my vertical was good.
Accuracy International AI AX (SFP) with the 6.5X47 barrel on it, S&B 5-25 with H59 on top. The load is 140gr Berger Hybrid over 37.5gr of Varget. Current speed is 2,803 but I expect it to pick up a bit of speed as it gets above the 200 round mark.
This was done at the CDTSA Milo range at 300M. The group was fired in about a minute - I may try again and be a bit more patient next time.
2.471-0.264=2.207

Yknow Bob,
This range of yours looks just like a place Ive shot before.. out past Tamahi on chilliwack lk rd. A cut just off to the right as you head towards the lake. in the area near the prison...

[/QUOTE]I have been wanting to try this challange for awhile and today was a good day.My buddy and I had the range to ourselves.I don't reload so the best I could hope for was the factory hornaday match 75gr out of my bone stock tikka T3 varmint in 223.The only mod is a limbsaver recoil pad,the optic is a Vortex PST 6-24x50 ebr-1 moa.I was shooting with a rock BR front rest and a leather rear rabbit ear bag with a box of ammo under it to raise the rear a little more.I shot 1 round and the target fell over so off I ran to reset it as the first round hit the bull,with my buddy being patiant.I then fired off the next 9 rounds in about a minute and went to get my target,another 300 yd hump.I was pretty surprised as I new it was close.When I got back I went to my truck too dig out a tape measure and did a quick measure and was very happy with my results.I,ve been impressed with this rifle since the day I got it.Distance shot was 304yds with nikon prostaff7
Thanks, I too am impressed with how accurate and easy the tikka varmint is too shoot. I've shot a lot of soda cans and clay's at 3-400 yds with this rig with the cheap federal red box 55 gr. I was tempted to try the challenge with it but I'm sure it would have thrown a few flyers.
Rifle: Custom Stiller Predator 6.5x47L, Benchmark 30", Dolphin stock, Jewel trigger, NF 15-55x56 Competition 2014.
Same rifle that completed the 1/2moa @ 300yds challenge.
Haven't shot this rifle in 8 months, was tricky getting used to a light single stage trigger again after using a 2 stage so much recently.

It's before there on the opposite side of the rd. Same place I shot my buck last fall!!
I will be trying this when my new Glass shows up with my 338 Lapua, lol the $70 challenge 10 to set up and then 10 on paper... assuming it actually works might be the $3000 challange by the time I get there.
I love all the big talk at the beginning of this thread of how easy it is and all that. 1 shooter hit 1/4 Moa a hand full at 1/2 and a decent number at 1moa but no where near the number for guys claiming the 1/2 Moa shooters all day long. And you can use s damn sled for this one. I'll be using bipod and rear bag lol 5 Moa here I come ; )

Well I gave this a go today. My excuses are 2 fold lol, it was freaking cold and raining, plus 15-30km/hr winds. I think I just squeaked in though. The one flyer cost me a better group, but that's the way she goes.
3.260 - .264 = 2.996
Savage 10TR
Shillen SS match 6.5 creedmoor barrel
140gr Berger LRBT with 40.5gr of H4350
