500 yard and 700 yard groups

[BigD1964]

Hi all, I want to share these two groups with SH. These are two, three round groups I shot at a Frontsight PR class this September. One was 1/2” at 500 yards (tape measure) and the next was just over 1/2” at 700 yards. There were several PR instructors who witnessed each as it happened. At FS students shoot three rounds and go check and tape before the next group is shot. I shoot an AI AT in 6.5CM with a Bartlein barrel, a Vortex Razor 2 4.5-27, Vortex rings, TBAC 30P-1 and an Atlas bipod. Thanks for looking.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure how to post this. I’m not trying to rock the boat at all. Just sharing.

That's certainly a testament to your ammo if nothing else. Must be some "pretty dang good ammo"....

Good shooting.

 

[BrentlyWhite]

Nice Shooting. I hope I can do the same when I can get out past 300 yards. So far, I can hold sub MOA at 300 yards.

 

[TACC]

Wow great shooting were you shooting factory or your own reloads?

 

[Belisarius]

Great shooting!!!
Great gear!!!

 

[Kevins750]

But you were nowhere near the bullseye

 

[Sheldon N]

I"m assuming that FS invited you back as an honorary instructor.

Good shooting.

Rifle too. Ammo is hand loaded with 41.9 grains of H4350 in Lapua brass, Wolf SRM primer, Hornady 140 ELD Match bullet. You should check out the powder measure at Auto Trickler out of Canada, really works well.

Thank you. These were reloads.

1/2" at 700 yards? Holy mackarel dude, that's some mighty fine shooting!!

 

[BigD1964]

Thank you.

No, they didn’t. I wish.

Tell me about it. My wind call was too much. I was aiming at the 8” circle to the right, I couldn’t even see the 1” circle at 700

Really … do tell us more !

BigD1964, I think you need to work more on the fundamentals. You pulled that last one 1/16"!!!
Damm Ni8ce shooting, and Welcome to The Hide!

In the spirit of the Hide, where are the other 2?

 

[delinquent pleb]

Exceptional shooting and load development. Most impressing thing I’ve seen all day.

Three round groups are what they shoot at FS, ?

 

[Bertoli888]

[1J04]

I'd play with seating depth.........

 

[Bender]

Did you point your tips? Did you polish the brass? Velcro?

Would you know the Phoenix Eye by chance?

 

[TheGerman]

Frank already did a video on this where he ran down to the 700 yard target wearing a bump helmet.

I remember that his group was smaller, and it was sponsored by Dunkin Donuts.

Impressive, are you shooting factory or handloads?

Here we go!

I bet Ignited Pizza now has him on speed dial and is calling him every week to come back!

Cheers, Sirhr

PS. I did not do the math, but I believe that those groups beat our last record holder who shot minute of Dinty Moore at a mile! Paper patching boys! All about paper patching!
