Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 24HC MOA All Day Long Challenge

Checking my zero yesterday for our annual Government Trappers Conference Rifle Comp...I adjusted the turret down .1 for group #2.

Barrel still shoots tight, but is starting to shed some velocity. I changed the last barrel out at 2256 rounds.

I'll shoot the two 10 shot groups in the next few days...

Good one, I guess my recollection of your targets was different. Let's shoot it again you with irons and me with my 1-8 scope.

yah know it wasn't all that long ago I shot that group, I doubt I'd shoot worse or better though. Won't find out, way to much going on having a major life change in the next months and the work list is so long I feel I may not get it all done. And since I won't be around to finish the rest of the major stuff its important to me to get as much major maintenance done as I can.

I'll have to live vicariously, but I"ll still guarantee ya this much, even low scope power and big cross hairs will give you small enough groups, you just have to convince your head of that.... And to make it easier shoot a relative target. I never shoot the same target from 100 to 600, irons or scope they are always scaled in some form

Scenar... NICE. Can you chase the velocity some or is it just not worth it and time to swap barrels around your marker? In 223 I found you could chase the velocity for a couple of thousand or more rounds and probably still even stay under MOA barely, I know not very accurate but.....

Other barrels just die. I know I've seen that even happen in a 223 before for some reason, logically probably loosing a big chunk of the leade... but since I never had a bore scope, all that mattered was it needed a new tube.

Well I will shoot it again.

Got out to the range today and was set up to give this a try.



Rifle:
Cooper model 21
Leupold VXII 6 - 18
Flashlight taped to side to make it tacticool


Cartridge:
221fb
50 gr BK
16.8gr of AA1680
Norma brass
Rem 7 1/2

Conditions were fairly good save a modest crosswind

These are two consecutive 10 shot groups on my homebrew targets at 100.








Group 1: 1.040 - 0.224 = 0.816"

Group 2: 0.771 - 0.224 = 0.547"

Average: (0.816 + 0.547)/2 = 0.682"


I said this before, but I don't regularly do 10 shot groups....I usually stick with 5. It takes another level of concentration to keep steady on all ten, for sure!

Good shooting buddy! I wish I could get out and shoot my new 6.5 creed. Just put a 16x42 swfa ss on it last night. Can't wait to try that combo out..

Thanks bsa. Once that ban gets lifted, I know we will see you up in the rankings.

I also have a 6.5 that Shooter71 put together.....mighty fine job too....but I'm out a scope untill it comes back from repair.

I have a 20X SS I could thrown on for R&D I suppose....might do so if I get the itch.

What is a "BK"?

Probably a blitz king..

Sierra BlitzKing.

I have found them to perform fairly well in the 221fb

Good shooting m1919

Thanks eagle. We need more folks to shoot this. I know more of the CA crew will be participating soon.

Did this again today with a different rifle...its not going to the top, but I was happy regardless.

Rifle:
SSG 3000
Leupold 6.5 x 20


Cartridge:
308
155 Scenars
Black Hills brass
47gr Varget
Rem 9 1/2








Group 1: 1.045 - 0.308 = 0.737"

Group 2: 1.039 - 0.308 = 0.731"

Average: (0.737 + 0.731)/2 = 0.734"

Have a hunch there is going to be a better group showing up soon......from someone else.

Very good shooting, looking at your average's. I can't see the "linked" image though. I'm chomping at the bit to go out and shoot. I may drive to Nevada and see my dad and go shooting at his range if I have to. My new 6.5 creed and SS 16x42 need to go out and do some barrel break in's. Preliminary shooting looked good and that was with factory ammo. I was watching some videos on youtube and came to the conclusion those fuggers can't shoot for chit. Coming here is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting your results m1919. Glad to see someone can still shoot good groups...

I'm seeing the pics now. Awesome shooting man! Don't forget, if we are measuring in MOA, that would be .701 MOA and a damn good score..

Remember too that bullet holes aren't the same diameter as the bullet. Usually a bit smaller.

Here is my entry from today

Rifle:
Cooper model 21
Leupold 6 x 18

Cartridge:
222
50 gr BlitzKing
RL-7
Lapua brass















Group 1 = 0.836"

Group 2 = 0.516"

Average = 0.676"

Thanks bsa. Today was a limited session and I shot more of my brothers 22 than I did the 308. But it's always good to get out there.

Certifiable, i knew what your brother was talking about earlier. I was just waiting for you to post your targets. Good shooting guys!!

You should have outshot him with his own rifle
