300 yard groups...UPDATE Aug 20th

[BongoBob]

Here's my latest try at 300 yrds...getting better!

OK, so I've become pretty happy with my 100 yrd groups...time to stretch things out a bit and see if I can keep it together!
I had 10 rounds left over from my last reloading session, so I set everything up and shot 2 groups at 300 yrds from prone off the Harris bi-pod.

Group 1 looked great for first 3 rounds (measured .55")...then I got too excited and spazzed out.

Settled down a bit and shot group 2...the far left shot was the fifth and I knew I'd pulled it a bit as soon as it broke...still, I'm pleased with the results so far. This group measured just over 1.5", so I guess that's .5 moa at 300 yrds.

This is the rifle...GAP Crusader in .308

Good 300 yard groups.

Results at 300 are just so satisfying!! Had a chance to try my handloads at 300 the other day as well.

Nice shooting guys, wind comes more into play at greater distances. Cheers Roscoe

Beautiful rifle, BongoBob!

Shooting longer ranges is a ton of fun... as long as you have an accurate rifle to work with. I tried some 200m shooting yesterday with my XCR and it was a real let down after shooting my Rem 788 in .222 - possibly the most accurate rifle I have owned; which is something to say considering how many rifles have come and gone over the years. I've got a Rem 700P on the way and will look forward to getting it tuned up for 300m+.

They're only 3 shot groups but here's what the .222 did for me on Tuesday. First 3 shots at 200m (best group of the day, but all were under1").

And here's what it did at 300m.

GAP Rock 308 Win. @ 300 yards:

I prefer 10 shot groups since that's what we shoot in PR...

My first 6mm Crusader barrel that was chambered by GAP:

And after 2000 rounds:

Nice looking groups! Who imported your GAP?

Clay at Prophet River handled the import...pretty easy.

First post updated with new group...

The ole put the coin on the target to hide the shots outside the group trick( at least it always makes me think that).

I'm not sure what you're getting at here? This is a 5 shot group...all 5 shots are there. Would you care to explain?

I wasn't referring to you Bob but it does seem to be common practise around here.

He was just jerkin your chain a little Bob, Take it easy !!

 

[Remmy700]

Looks like some good honest groups, better than i can do at 300yrd mark. Pretty sure Canuck525 was referring to The Barons targets, I always think "flyer" when I see a coin. If you want to use something for size comparison put it beside the target, not over the hole of your flyer.

Awesome shooting to the op (the others posted are great as well). Really nice looking rifle the op has got there.

A few years back, but that's what I always thought when I saw Bob Milek in G&A pointing to a group he had just shot.
