My Rifle Shoots 1/2 MOA at 300 yards/meters All Day! Really? Prove It!
- Thread starter Underthegun
- Start date
Well after about a half dozen failed attemps at the 100 meter challenge over the last couple months I decided to switch things up and shoot the 300 meter challenge. These are my first five groups, I shot another five test loads where four of five made it under .5 moa.
Rifle is a Savage large shank, Krieger barrel chambered in .223 rem, 8 twist bedded in a B&C tactical stock. Scope is a Sightron 8-32x56 LRMOA.
Target shot at the 300 meter target board at the Nicola Valley gun club
Group 1. 1.657" .483 moa
Group 2. 1.632" .475 moa
Group 3. 1.326" .386 moa
Group 4. 1.163" .338 moa
Group 5. 1.510" .439 moa
Group Average 1.457" .424 moa

Nothing wrong with that shooting at all both of you guys underthegun and cnd shooter i wish i knew how to post up pics but im computer illiterate lol
Gave it a attempt yesterday ( Saturday) but " FAILED " --- GOT OH SO CLOSE !!!!!!
Just one of those great spring day's when you just can't wait to get to the range. Morning started off @ about 8*C. & by noon it had to be 13 - 14*C.
NO WIND - but had some heavy mirage by noon, especially @ 300 meters. ( Any chance your starting to see some bare ground back EAST yet ??? )
Pic's & targets should tell the rest :

Set-up @ 300 meters.

Rifle #2 - 6br. norma - Remington 700 action - Criterion bull barrel X 28" - Sightron 6x20x42 scope - My own stock & design.
[/IMG]
Target #1 = .414 moa - #2 = .516 moa - #3 = .525 moa - #4 = .353 moa - #5 = .405 moa ----- Agg.= .443 moa
Just noticed that I screwed up on the date on the target - it should be March 30 - forgot the 0.
[/IMG]
The math
[/IMG]
Large group #3 = .525moa
[/IMG]
Small group #4 = .353moa
As this was a "" FAILED ATTEMPT "" I will not bore you with more details.
Time to LOAD' UM UP & TRY AGAIN --- Thanks again to UTG for the GREAT CHALLENGES --- Cheers Rob

Ya , its been one LONG WINTER for you folks !! -- Hope SPRING comes soon for you .
I just ordered a Sightron 8-32x56 from Jerry at Mystic Precision. I will be retrying this once I get it mounted.
You will be one happy camper with your choice !! Which reticle did u go with ??
Just got back from the range myself & feel like your buddy in the picture. Met the " Challenge " finally but got caught in a heck of a rainstorm this afternoon while shooting.
Will post results once targets are dried out a bit.
I see " BUG HOLES " in your future !!
I hope so. I've been saying that my 14X is handicapping me. I figure I can get my average from the .4's to the .3's. I hope.
Results of Rifle # 2 --- SUCCESS !! --- after a long day in the rain ---& 2 different load changes.
[/IMG]
Set-up @ 300 meters -- as long as our club range goes.
[/IMG]
Rifle #2 -- 6mmBR. Norma -- Remington 700 action -- Criterion bull barrel x 28" -- Jewel trigger -- Sightron 6x20x42 scope -- my own stock & design.
------& before you ask ?? ---- YES --- It's got a barrel NUT.
[/IMG]
Drying out target board -- 2 larger targets on right side where used as sighters as I had to shoot 2 different bullets & loads.
Target #1-2-3 load was -- 28.0 gr./ Varget - CCI br4 - 108 Berger BT. - .020 jump
Target #4-5 " -- 30.5 gr./ N135 - Fed 205m - 80 Berger FB. -.005 jump ( target soaked by this time as you can tell by the bullet hole size on #4 & #5 )
[/IMG]
Now the DREADED MATH :
Target #1 --- 1.108" - .243 = .865" div. by 3.28 =.264" div.by 1.047 === .252moa ----- Small group
Target #2 --- 1.392" = 1.149" =.350" === .335moa ----- Pulled 1st shot high / left & had to go chasing after it.
Target #3 --- 1.122" = .879" =.268" === .256moa
Target #4 --- 1.388" = 1.145" =.350" === .333moa
Target #5 --- 1.760" = 1.517" =.463" === .442moa ----- Last 2 shots high / 12 oclock caused by just plain """ FEAR """
Agg. =.339" === .324moa
[/IMG]
Target #5 - Large Group = .442moa
[/IMG]
Target # 1 - Small Group = .252moa ( almost caught you JEC -- But got the YIPPS on the 5th. shot )
Hope all you fellow shooters get the opportunity to " TRY THIS CHALLENGE " --- " YOU WILL LEARN A TONNNNNNNN " Cheers Rob

Nice shooting rfkc ..and for keeping that 6BR case dominant in this thread. No doubt they are effective when properly pointed. I don't care for a lot of rain, but I'm getting to the point I'd gladly trade it for our snow. The Range where I shoot still has at least a foot all the way from the firing line to 300M (April 5) and we just got another dusting last night...and still just below 0C.
