Hornady match bullets. First 5 shots went into 2.5 inches, so I let my work buddies ring steel with my rifle after that. I was happy. Looks like this 308 was shooting a solid .6 moa (5 shot group) out to 400 yards anyhow.. I see other threads in the hunting rifle forums of guys talking about how their rifles are "1/2" guns. Then you read through their thread and they show you a couple cherry picked 3 shot groups. At least you guys here know it takes more than 1 or 2 3 shot groups to confirm your rifle is a "1/2" shooter ... When guys start threads like that, sometimes I like pulling out a pic like this:

.....and saying, hell my rifle is a .189" shooter.... We all know that is BS, but you know what i'm talking about.. I can't wait to be able to shoot at my range or even the national forest here. There's still a ban on shooting until fire season is over. You can bet your azz, I'll play along in both these games you guys have going on, as soon as I'm able to. Just wanted to share a story of yesterday though, while I wait for the NF to open back up and for gunner to shoot this event. Damn, what's taking that guy so long. I hope he know's I was just giving him chit about that Nightforce scope.. Wish I had one, I'd use the hell out of it... grin


Darn, bsa. That's killin' it. Impressive.


That 3 shot group was just a lucky group my friend. Part of the reason I generally run 5 or 10 shots on paper. In the above post, I'll bet some of you guys are wondering why I only put 5 shots on steel at 400 yards. Well, it's because my boss was bragging earlier about how he shot this 3" 5 shot group with his rem 700 300wm with berger VLD's on this plate set out at 400 yards. Well, I didn't know if I could top that with this rifle because I knew it generally shoots 1.6 moa 10 shot groups. And knowing exactly what certifiable was talking about in another thread, when he said, "10 shots is a helluva different ballgame", I decided to just try and match his 3" 5 shot group. I think both my boss and myself were impressed with the capability of this AR10. I know I'm pretty much sold on this rifle.
