Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 24HC Black Rifle Challenge Thread

OK I know this is an old post, and the contest is over, but I posted about a 1/2 MOA AR15, so today I shot mine trying to get there, didn't quite get the groups I wanted. Shot 10 50gr Nosler BT and 10 60 VMax.
50 gr was about 1.040
60 gr was 1.210
Avg is 1.125"
Larue Upper




Going to try again with some 75's or 77gr bullets, I know this doesn't count, just shooting for fun. Will try clean targets without tape on the next round.

Dang, I might have to dust off the Armalite and try again, now that I have a big hairy Nightforce SHV...

Highest mag on mine is a 4x.
Coyote rig w illum dot.
Might try to test ammo at 100 this weekend.
Weather doesn't look promising.

Fiocchi 50gr factory BT
Hornady 55gr Vmax
PMC 55gr ball

bbl is cheapy 1 in 8.

Have had good luck w 1 in 9 and 55s in the past.
Whatever I get, I get.

Though not at 100 yards, and with only five rounds:





Looks like +10 MOA elevation (200 yard zero) should be just about right.

Spring is right around the corner, it seems like a good time for a new thread/challenge. This one was quite interesting.

I just re-mounted the scope on my new .260 and I'll have to sight it in. I may just give it a try. I think the rifle can do it, I'm just not sure about the loose nut behind the trigger.
