Okay, since no one has previously entered a 7.62x39, I give you a PSA KS-47. Load is the Nosler 123gr Ballistic Tip, over 28gr of 1680, in Lapua brass. I did not chrono them, but they run about 2550 out of a 22" Ruger #1. OAL 2.21", after I reseated the bullets to fit in an AK magazine.
Nice shootin! If/when you get a chance, please do chrono those from your AR; 7.62x39 ballistic info from the AR platform is pretty sparse still so it would be a useful data point. Will do. When I set it up I'll run two or three types of ammo through it.

Nice shooting, tex. I'd be willing to bet a better trigger would easily put you under 1.0". I found I used to think that way also, but if you know how to shoot, its just easier to shoot with a better trigger, but it rarely changed my group sizes much.

what makes you think I know how to shoot? It's kind of obvious... .... I'm going to be pulling a card out of my sleeve tomorrow... It starts with STAG... I lucked into something kind of interesting today...

Alright, you guys warned me these things would start multiplying like jackrabbits!!!!!!!! I haven't even had a chance to put my first AR in the safe with my bolt guns and now I have a SECOND AR. ... I'm wanting to shoot this event with both rifles today, but my new rifle has a funky target style grip on it. I plan on using front and rear bags and not the grip as a rest, or is a rear rest or palm grip allowed. I went back to page 1 trying to read all the rules. My new rifle is a left hand Stag 6HL upper in a Bushmaster lower. I'm hoping it shoots as well as it looks!!! It kind of fell into my lap and figured I should buy it since I shoot lefty. Pretty damn good deal too. Bore looks sweet and trigger is pretty smooth. I'm still loving my first AR though, as that set-up with the ACS stock is exactly what I have been looking for. I'll be heading to the range here shortly. I will post pics of how my new loads work out too. I also bought some TAC-X made by PMC with 77gr. sierra matchkings yesterday too, that I want to try out. Having a hell of a time typing though, smashed my trigger finger between the case mouth and press lastnight around 10:00 pm when I got in a hurry

That's a great deal on a very, very nice upper with top shelf parts. If I were in the market for a 308, I'd be on that like a bad smell. MM

Alright, here's my new rifle submissions: Just bought this one yesterday: Stag 6HL (left hand upper) 1:8 24" heavy barrel with a bushmaster lower unknown trigger (I'll have to pull it out and maybe see if it's a timney??) PRS stock, Ergo tactical grip that I'm going to be replacing Nikon Buckmaster's 6-18x40 in Leupold MKII mount Here's the range: 100.5 yards according to the laser: Shooting from my crappy work table that I converted to my portable bench.... First groups from the rifle. Figured I'd throw some of my handloads in the rifle just for chits and giggles: Looks like about a 1.179 moa average to me... I really like this rifle. The trigger is sweet and the rifle just wants to please. Now I need to learn how to shoot it. I'm going to be replacing that damn pistol grip, as it just gets in the way.

Here's my Rogue Defense from today: Shot the same handloads in this rifle as I did the Stag above: I really like this rifle. The trigger is not as good as my new rifle (stag 6HL), but it works well enough. Speaking of the Stag, here's the last group I shot with that rifle today. It's a handload with 25.2gr. of RL15 and the 69gr sierra I wanted to see how well these rifles liked that load before I left the range and she looks pretty good: This is not a submission group, just the last group fired for the day: You can probably guess what load I'm going to try next in this AR challenge.... Hint hint... I'm going to be leaving in a bit to get a rifle case for my new AR, what is the best grip for this kind of shooting???? Any help mucho appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!

I know a couple of you guys PM'd me and said to buy a Stag, way back when I was trying to decide which one to get. I'm happier than hell this one fell into my lap. The only thing that sucks about it, is now I have brass on each side of the bench to pick up now... I really like the new el-cheapo Rogue Defense built here in Oregon too....

MM they're not heavy, just big boned;) I don't mind the weight... It's really not that bad and besides, this is an AR challenge for shooting groups at targets, not running around a course and firing at stuff... If they want to start a positional shoot like Carl Ross did a while back in the rifle forums, I'm game...

Thanks - I shot those groups with the 77gr TMK - I have some 77gr Berger OTM, that shot better in other rifles, so I think I'll give them a run as well.
