Sitting at my reloading bench, this morning, the Trinimon challenge is always on my mind, did pull out a proven recipe of 167 Scenar Lapua, R15 and BR-2, OAL at 2.780 for semi auto purpose...
I know i can go sub .5 MOA with my AR 10T, also a surprise AR will join the challenge thus the realoading... Looking good... JP.

Hey Caramel, didn't you pick up a Les Baer AR Match a while back?
No i di not, the surprise AR will be in....308... JP.
LOL, I could've sworn it was you. I know there's a CGNer out there with one. They got the hardware to be in the 3star rating if they do their part.
Looking forward to the next entry, JP.
It's the weekend guys/gals! Get your black rifles out
i will try tomorrow with the xcr-l
I tested the PMC X-Tac 5.56mm 62gr 2 weeks ago in Alburgh VT, had to zero my rifle for the 1st SR match
I used my JP 18" upper with my ACOG 4x32 ACOG TA31-CH:
I used two targets taped together to make the 5 x 5 groups, I started with the left orange target then clockwise starting with the bottom left diamond.
I seriously was blown away with my 1st 5rd group as I previously tried Hornady 75gr Supermatch which is double the price.
My 1:8 barrel twist likes this ammo...I did achieve sub MOA my 1st 5 shot test but after running to change the targets 100m and back 100m I didn't take enough time to rest and get my heart rate back to resting.
I was definitely moving more and the results on another 4 x 5 shots were approx 1" - 1.5"
With a better shooter and hand loads I'm sure all 5 groups could be sub-moa

Ya, great potential. Try firing all 5 groups with just taking pause to let barrel cool a bit and your body to relax as well as if you're anything like me, sitting still for enough time to fire all 25 shots is taxing. I also aim for the smallest part of the target that is visible from distance (ie. the very tip of the diamonds). Good luck!
