My Rifle Shoots 1/2 MOA at 300 yards/meters All Day! Really? Prove It!

Here are the requirements for the challenge:


You must shoot five 5 shot groups at 300 yards/meters

All 5 groups must be under 1/2 MOA

All 5 groups must be on the same paper

There cannot be any other groups on your "official" target

There cannot be anything on your target that could be hiding any group or bullet hole that is not part of your "official" attempt


Your post must include the following:


A pic of your rifle and the rest you used

The range you were shooting at. 300 yards or 300 meters.

A pic of your target with all 5 groups visible and the group sizes and group average written on the target

All groups must have the group size in inches as well as in MOA. to figure out MOA use this math: group size ÷ the range in yards ÷ 1.047 *** 300 meters is 328 yards***. Here is an example of a 300 meter group. 1.5" ÷ 3.28 ÷ 1.047 = .437moa
 
My bad, I shot 6 groups.

1.146" = 0.364moa
1.133" = 0.360moa
0.975" = 0.310moa
1.320" = 0.420moa
0.839" = 0.267moa
0.891" = 0.283moa

Average: 0.334moa

Tried it today, shot 1.879" average over 5 groups of 5 shots. Biggest group ws 2.2", smallest was 1.3".

That is an average of .54 moa.

I just annealed my brass and think I need to retune my load.

This is a great challenge and many many ducks need to line up in a row to keep under 1/2 moa
 
Oh snap, I got this. I'll have at it this weekend.
Insite arms loaned me a demo rifle in 6xc to do a review on.
This is the first load testing target at 300 yards, with .3 grain jumps for each group. First type of powder I've tried, first projectile, no brass prep besides neck sizing, no sorting, rifle has never been cleaned. Shot prone off of an lra bipod.
They advertise bench rest precision in a working gun, and I'm quickly being convinced.
37.5 grains of varget with 105 berger hybrids looks real nice...

Absolutely amazing shooting. You even went over and above the required 5 groups. I added you to the successful list in the original post. And also CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have the new record for the smallest group, AND the record for the smallest average. Way to go. Nice shooting.
 
A Minute of Angle (MOA) is an angular measurement. A MOA is 1/60th of a degree. 1 MOA spreads about 1" per 100 yards. ( actually 1.047") 1 MOA is a different size at different distances, 8" at 800 yards is still just 1 MOA.
 
This thread has be quiet of late. Weather was beautiful, barely any wind, so I figured I'd give it a shot with my 6x47 Lapua.
Failed, but only barely. Need more practice, and this gives me a good baseline to try and tweak my load.
