6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

[BillOH]

I shot 3 different 6x5s today. I used 2 different lots of SK Biathlon and a lot of SK Pistol Match. The Pistol match did the best. I used the last 6 groups. Average; 2.276" and best 1.39". 200 yards, Vudoo, NF 7-35 scope, Bi Pod, rabbit ear rear bag from a bench. I have had good results with SK Pistol Match in the past, but for some reason I have been shooting Biathlon. My averages with Biathlon today were 2.751" and 2.945".

edit to add: I used a better target today. I could see what I was doing.

 

[jbell]

BillOH, I have your 200 average updated. Nice shooting

Damn RainierRimfire, that is smoking good with a semi! I know the Kidds are shooters but that is impressive. I have it on the board.

Thanks. X-Act made the difference today. I had been using Center-X with pretty good results, but X-Act
proved its worth.

 

[learjet]

wow thx for posting the Kidd groups, so little info here on them, im considering picking one up

thx again!

Yeah, do it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I have a Vudoo and I wasn’t sure how I’d like a semi but this gun has proved to be a lot of fun. Shooting X-Act for the first time today really tightened my groups up.

I am very impressed with the consistent precision of the Vudoo. Well done.

[CBeck]

Just did my first 6x5 at 50 yards with the new vudoo. Average was .287” with SK standard. Bipod and rear bag. Scope is a Nightforce SHV until my zco comes in which should help tighten up the aiming point. Curious how testing other ammo will go.

[RETE8]

Can I join in? 101 yards cheap ammo got me second to last round.

 

[jbell]

Melglass, welcome! Is that a RimX your shooting? Also I have your average at 0.954” not 1.075”, did I make a mistake or misread something? I just want to try and be accurate when I post up the results.

[jbell]

Oh, I really couldn't tell. I never really looked at those.

I’m getting 1.075 Inch average with a best group of .643in. The second to last round killed me but I guess I can’t complain paid $112 a case when I got it. Bergara B14r Carbon.

I was completely missing target #4 somehow and was averaging the 5 groups for 6. I have it corrected now, sometimes I am pretty damn slow...

 

[jbell]

Travclem, nice shooting I have your CZ on the results.

Best way I could figure to get 6 on my old archery targets. Beat it by a little today but will wait till I get one worth making you go through the trouble to put on the list.

 

[Yoteman2]

Yes, I agree with no restrictions on what you shoot or how you shoot it. I modified the “rules”. Let me know what yall think.

jhr1986, I have your Bergara on the results. Welcome to the 6X5

Man keeping going this long is great
Been out of the rimfire game a few years
Lots of coyotes needed the air let out of them got hooked on thermal night
Hunts

See all the brands
I only want to beat myself.
Let them run what they brung hope you brung enuff
There are a lot of good shooting going on here
An thanks for hanging in there

 

[melglass]

Cant get the full 200 at my hunting club range without crossing the road and I am worried about safety. 2.66 6x5 with a best of 1.708.

50 yards 10x 5 of .422 with a 6x5 of .364. Best group of .201.
Bergara B14r Carbon bipod and bag. EleyAction at 193 and CCI standard at 50.

 

[jbell]

Melglass, I have you on the 50 and 200 yard results with your MOA corrected for 193 yards.

 

[CBeck]

Tried some SK Long Range Match today and got a .231 average at 53 yards.

 

[jbell]

QuodeBebop, sorry for the delay I somehow missed your post. But I have you updated now. Nice improvement, I have your MOA corrected for 53 yards.

 

[Biscuits]

Hello everyone: my first 6x5 and only my third outing with this new rifle, a Tikka T1x. 16 inch barrel, A-tek moderator, Primary Arms GLx 4-16x50 FFP scope. The rifle has had about 400 rounds through it at the end of today's shooting. The moderator I pulled off another rifle, so that has had a few rounds through.

Hoping my groups will get better, but here is my first go. Hoping the groups get a bit tighter when I get to know the rifle and the scope (that's also new) a bit more and on a zero wind day. Wind today was about 8mph crosswind at roof level, bit lower at the semi-sheltered firing point.

50 Yard. Average 0.460", Best 0.328" SK Match 22LR, Temp 20C

 

[Biscuits]

Don't know if this is in the spirit of this thread or not, but I also shot a 6x5 with an ERMA M1 Carbine: A 1968 West German semi auto 22LR trainer for the M1 Carbine. Open sights. Someone let me know if I should post it.

 

[tsgarp]

Got a new Bergara B14r steel barrel Monday. Trying to get some rounds down the barrel so put up a few targets. 18x5 shot groups. Best 6x5 In a row .863 with best group of .576

B14r Bergara steel

Eley Action 40gr

Nice improvement, I have your results updated.

Nice improvement, I have your results updated.

Different gun same ammo.This is the best target with the first gun But I still haven’t dipped into my better ammo.

 

[jbell]

Do you have 2 B14’s that you are shooting? I thought you were shooting the same rifle...

 

[melglass]

Do you have 2 B14’s that you are shooting? I thought you were shooting the same rifle...

Yes two B14Rs one Carbon and one steel. Shot them both at 193 yards. Beat my previous best with the Carbon and have a first for the steel.
Carbon

Steel

Had a good run going on this one till the guy next to me starting doing mag dumps and I kept getting caught mid trigger squeeze on the last three targets. 556 hitting a 25 yard steel plate was very distracting.

80 3-5 variable
both guns bipod and bag
193 yards
Eley Action 40gr

 

[jbell]

Oh, cool. I did not realize. I think I have your records messed up. I thought your entries were with the same rifle. Shoot me a PM or post it with the best average and the best group with each rifle and at what distance and I’ll get it all sorted out for you on the results.

sorry...

 

[melglass]

Use the target from post #1499 for the steel barrel 100 yard and #1501 from the Carbon barreled gun 100 yard. Post 1503 has targets from both guns at 193 yards. The 51 yard target that I posted is from The Carbon gun.

 

[jbell]

I think I have you all squared away. I think the steel barreled rifle had a better 200 yard average back 7/25/20, correct?
