This is the 77 grain Sierra Match king over 24.1 grains of RL15 from my Noveske 18 inch LW barrel. The barrel is probably better than I am as I seem to pull at least two each 10 round string. Worse than I did with factory Hornady 55 grain vmax, the cumulative is 1.4" at 100 yards. I am going to try some factory WW 69 grain match bullets next outing. Honest input, the focus/parralax adjustment makes a difference at even 100 yards from what I see.

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.

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..

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.
