Dirty barrels are more reliable and shoot really well. Up to a point of course.

Milquad in the SWFA. NP-R2 in the Nightforce.

I need to change the trigger in my SPR parts gun & see how it does. Maybe tinker with some of the Berger 77gr loads as well.

Msrp on that mk6 is kinda ridiculous but they can be found significantly cheaper then that as i did.

Hopefully sight it in and give this a try later this week.


Beautiful rig, Mallard. Look forward to see how it shoots.

The two shots that went high on the left target were the first two of the day, from a clean barrel. Probably should have fouled it before trying for a tiny group.

This is a pretty good explanation as to why 3 shot groups, and even a single 5 shot group, are not a big enough sample size to accurately measure the potential of a given rifle or load.


Holy chit, too much reading involved there. I like their (arfcom's) "1 moa all day long challenge" better.....:

Just sayin...

I cheated, it's a bolt gun. Doesn't count... laugh. I shot my buddies RRA ATH carbine when this thread started, but didn't fare too well (1.285 MOA), as compared to some of these guys. My buddy is doing his best to talk me into buying an AR, it will eventually happen and I'll shoot this event with my OWN rifle... laugh

I feel you on the cold fliers. Had a couple myself that really hurt my aggregate. Still, those are impressive groups.

Has the list of who's who in the 2 times 10 shots world been updated? I'm really hoping just to escape being at the bottom. Hell, who am I kidding? With groups like I'm seeing here, I'll be happy to rank in the same county.

BTW, I have a fairly new rifle that my neighbor and I put together over the winter that I should give a go. Gotta get some time at the reloading bench and see what it likes and what it'll do before I post my results bere, though.

Its been a while sonce I have updated the rankings. I've been a little slack with keeping up with it and some post are just pictures, not necessarily entries. But I will go back and do my best to update everything.

Well I finally got a chance to participate in the fun.

My setup:

RR Predator Pursuit upper, SSA-E, 16x SS

Ammo is my handloads in Fiocchi brass with 3031 and 50gr VMax.

Shot this a few hours ago so the range pic is a bit dim.

Two consecutive groups

First one is 0.786"
Second one is 0.681"
Average is 0.734"

That's good accuracy, nice job. Now do it with a sling, bags, or bipod. wink

Oops, didn't realize my rest wasn't allowed. Next time out I'll try with bags.
