Re: Post your "groups" from 300+

Having some fun with the Savage 223 AI. I'm still working out the bugs but, all in all I can't complain.

Plate on the left shot by Sendero Man with his GAP 6MM Crusader, plate on the right shot with my Surgeon 6XC....400 meters. A little breezy that day. </div></div>

Great wind calls!
 
Re: Post your "groups" from 300+

Here's the best 5 shot group I've ever been able to pull off. The gun was hide member Skinney's custom built 260. 5 shots @ 720 yds. We didn't bring a tape measure or anything down to the target but it was roughly 2 1/4 inches. 3 of the shots fit inside my thumbnail, the other 2 are on the bottom right

This was one of those zen moments...

GAP HRT
860 yds
5-8 mph intermittent/variable wind
10 shots, 2 misses
Factory FGM 175s

You can actually see 3 different groups due to the changing wind. This is an 8 inch plate so no ruler needed. 2 misses dropped low under it. Freakin sick for a .308

Shot this 5 shot group a couple of days ago with the Savage in 6.5 Lapua (the black one) with Mcree chassis at 1110 yds. 4 shots between my two fingers and dropped the 5th shot 5" low. Glasses are for scale. First 4 were at .25moa but the last shot opened it up to .5moa.

465 Yds, lots of first here.
First time shooting the .300wm DTA, (a few shots prior to zero from the .308 barrel) first time to chrono a load and use Ballistic. These were reloads given to me when I got the gun.(I know that's a gamble.) 168 HPBT speer, 2950fps. First shots on new steel. zeiss 3-12 scope was hard to make out much of the target. Look forward to more magnification. Wasn't even sure I was hitting steel and not the tree behind it. 4 shots.

not the best in the world, but I was pretty happy when I drove down across the field and saw 3 grouped nicely. The first shot, I was holding a bit. Wind full value 5-7 from the right. 2mil 1 click and a few clicks for wind.

5 consecutive shots

Shot this one at 700 yards. Was missing the 8" plate due to wind and shot 3 rounds at my backer to see where I was hitting. Dollar bill for size reference.

One sighter, then ten shots for score at 600 yards for a 99-3x. Wind was gusting to 20mph and the flags in the valley where the range is were all blowing in opposite directions. Nothing special compared to most of the other groups in this thread, but not too shabby considering what I used to shoot it.

Managed to get the target to hang up on the stand twice. My lazy took over and I decided walking down there wasn't necessary

Sweett. May I ask what load youre running? Bullet/powder/mv? That's a beautiful rifle. Do you have to be careful about running loads too hot. The Swede will definitely be my first surplus rifle. Is it fairly easy to shoot? How would you compare the recoil to say a light(7 lb) .308 with no muzzle brake?
 
GAP Crusader in .308, Applied Ballistics 175 Tactical Load used in 300 yd 3 x 15-shot Reduced Palma match:



Inner yellow ring is ~0.9 MOA. Somehow when changing out targets between matches, I lost Target #1, but it was the same as Target #2 (150-11X). I won the match with 449-33X. Gotta love GAP and Applied Ballistics!
