You'll find better prices on that stuff, if that's what you like, from SGAmmo. They have both 77's & 69's. Fiocchi Match AmmoMM Thank you, Sir! Ed

I dont shoot a scoped ar, and need to get a iron sight entry . So this is speculation on my part, are you adjusting focus and paralex while shooting the group? I would load 12 with that same load ,1st into the berm , shoot 10 , then unload the 12th, might have something to do with decreasing mag/ rd pressure on the bottom of your bolt causing some type tilting with the bullet in the leade/ throat however small it might be , i would try the 12 shot mag deal see if those middle 10 group.

Not bad at all. I tried the "10 round load development" test yesterday in my Tikka 6.5. I loaded up 10 rounds, in .1gr increments, and shot them over the Magnetospeed. I got great data and what really impressed me was the accuracy. I wasn't trying to do a ladder test or shoot for group size but all 10 rounds landed within 1/2" at 104 yards. Thats 10 rounds of all different chrge weights. Load development will be easy with this one.

Looks like load development is going to be damn boring for that one..

War eagle that is a nice rifle, the T3 compact tactical might be more of what I would be interested in. Damn now I have to buy another rifle to keep up with you guys.

Hey guys, I hope you don't mind me bumping this one up again. I am very intrigued by this thread and the shooters and weapon systems used. I compiled a list of rifles and ammo used for the top 10, just to see what seemed to shoot the best. I know it's not all about the rifle, and there's a lot more that contributes to good accuracy than just the rifle and ammo (shooter's skill comes to mind). I wanted to see a list to kind of compare what shot well or very well. Like someone else said, shoot that stag properly and there will be a few of them in the top 10. Lets see if he was right....:
1. scenarshooter (Mr. Pat Sinclair): .475 MOA. We all know GAP is damn good. Too bad I can't afford one. How about you guys? Optics on this rifle were second to none as well. Damn good shooting Mr. Sinclair: GA Precision GAP10, 6MM Creedmoor Barrel: 21" Bartlein 5R 1-7.7" 105gr. Scenar Scope: 3-12X50 S&B PMII
2. m1919: .682 MOA: RRA Predator Pursuit upper SSA-E Standard A2 stock and grip 16X SS on a SSALT 50gr. A-max
3. tex_n_cal: .783 MOA: Armalite 20" heavy barrel 16x SS SWFA 77TMK
4. KeneticPerformance: .819 MOA. Barnes Precision BPM 15 Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50mm G2 in LaRue mount 69gr. Nosler
5. bsa1917hunter: .833 MOA: Stag 6HL, Black Rain Ordanance BCG, PRS stock, RRA National match 2 stage trigger Nikon Buckmasters 6-18x40 with Leupold mount 69gr. Sierra BTSP
6. MontanaMan: .867 MOA: Viltor MUR upper, Aero Lower, WOA 18" barrel gun with a NF SHV 3-10 scope
7. Fiddy: .896 MOA Stag Varminter (Model 6) with SWFA 16x FF Black Hills 69gr. MKHP
8. Certifiable: .935 MOA Stag model 6 SWFA 16x SWFA SSALT mount 52gr. sierra in PMC brass
9. MontanaMan: 1.004 MOA Not sure on the set-up due to lost pictures...
10. KineticPerformance: 1.064 MOA Not sure on set-up, due to lost pictures...
Great shooting guys!!!!!!! Awesome thread!!! I guess certifiable was right: There are 3 stag's in the top 10, a lot of SWFA SS's as well.....

It was a Barnes Precision LR - 10 .308 Win with ACS-L stock not PRS stock and I had Bushnell LRHS 3-12x44mm scope on it. I need to resort this because I've gotta much better load now.

Bsa.. this is without a doubt one of the better threads in terms of real world put up or shut up..the two groups I submitted were the first and second time that 6 had ever been shot. Fiddy and m1919 are my brothers and while '19 shot his with A rock river he also has a 6 that would place in the top 10. He hasn't bested the RR group but suffice to say it would be 4 stags up there..
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

I really need to put a scope on one of my good guns one of these days just to see how humorous that would be.
Too much in the way right now. IE life.
