Sorry I am not able to burn the needed 30 rounds to enter the contest. My ammo budget is tight right now. Here are two 5 round targets fired from my .338 LM at 1" dots at 300 yards. This Surgeon rifle is a pleasure to shoot. Keep up the good work all!

I shot the challenge again today, but with my 223. It's a Rem 700 with 28" HV Bartlein, sitting in a Manners T6A. NF NXS MOAR reticle on top. I'm shooting Lapua brass with 24.5 gr of Varget behind a 80 gr SMK.
I measured outside to outside and subtracted .224. Groups were 1.866, 2.211, 1.755, 1.428, 1.637, 1.538. That's averages to 1.739
The furthest round landed at 1.875.

looking good moboost! I got ya on the boards. If possible, please edit your existing entry with a pic of your rifle. thanks my friend!
Argghh, I've been trying to get in these shoots forever seems like, but like every day off here in West NC it's pouring snow and a wind chill of -24 degrees.
I'M SICK OF WINTER

tell me about it! you should try living in the northern part of Wisconsin! arrgggghhhhh like a pirate!
Finally got out to shoot the 300yd challenge today. Setup a target in the high desert north of Phoenix, about 4500ft elevation. All 30 shots fired were on the target including my cold bore shot. Kept a pretty good pace to get it done before dark; the last two groups were after sundown. Temp was dropping rapidly from 57F to 45F, which caused group 5 to run low so I added .1 mil for group 6. The powder in the Swiss P factory ammo is very temp sensitive and my initial velocity estimate was too high so group 1 came in .3 mil low.
Rifle is an AI AWM 300 Win Mag. Scope is the XM2010 Leupold Mk4 6.5-20x50 mil/mil TMR 34mm tube. Leupold Mk4 steel rings. Shot prone off the AI bipod and monopod.
Groups were 2.355" (damn cold bore flyer) + 1.222" (freak 4-rd cloverleaf) + 1.803" + 1.836" + 1.598" + 1.636" = 10.45" / 6 = 1.742" Average (.554 MOA)
Best group was 1.222" (.39 MOA)
So far with the Swiss P 220gr factory ammo this gun has been a consistent .6 MOA performer and it was right there on every group today except for the cold bore shot and the lucky 1.222" group.

Thanks! It was a blast! And it was fun to get the rifle out after I just painted it about 10 days ago. I'm strangely proud of my cheap Rust-Oleum camo job on a $9,000 rig. Lol

lord, I wish I could get outside and go shooting! no shit, it has been negative temps in northern Wisconsin for damn near the last 1-1/2 months.... no shit, it was below neg 40 a few days ago with wind chill. One night I took one full gallon of really hot water and threw it up in the air off my front porch and not a single drop of water hit the ground... the entire gallon of hot water evaporated!
