My 6.8 will do great for 3 shots and then open up as barrel heats up.


I started out with a plan of shooting 5 then letting the barrel cool down and shooting 5 more. It was hot outside, my rest sucked and after the second flier the plan went out the window. I shot a 5 shot group then loaded 15 more in the mag and went for it.

Of coarse there is a competitive component to this exercise but it's also about learning your rifle and your ability with it.

The competitive side of me wants to try it again with a better rest and my AR-15. Another part of me wants to try it with my AK-47/Aimpoint Pro setup for the knowledge, chits and giggles. I've never shot a 20 shot group with it. Of coarse it won't be ranked but I'll probably learn from the experience. I'm definitely going to give the Mini 14 another run at it.

This has been a fun thread. Great idea Wareagle700!
