Just trying to get on your guys level got a new 12 twist on the way to see if groups at 100 and beyond tighten up.Nice shooting, you just opened 2022 like a boss.
unfriendly conditions ! Do you find your velocities very low when it is so cold ?Today’s effort at 90M. The weather was challenging as you can see. I’m not using better ammunition because i think it would be wasted under these conditions.

I try to keep the ammunition and rifle in the truck between strings. SK S+ and SKRM have been slow for me at all temps and in the factory and IBI barrels. 1035 yesterday, barely 1000 in the factory barrel. Eley is close to the box velocity.unfriendly conditions !

thanks similar to my experience, although i tend to give up below -10 CI try to keep the ammunition and rifle in the truck between strings.

I was really wanting to try out the IBI barrel. I mostly practice 50 rnd standing offhand groups at 100 when it’s this cold. They are coming along nicely too.thanks similar to my experience, although i tend to give up below -10 C
I used to have a 5X10 thread as well, but it was not that popular…I need to get in this game. There are some nice groups. I do 10 round groups...gives a better average overall. More rounds, more chance to make a mistake.
I find the uncertainty of Rimfire velocity really shows up in 10 rnd groups.I need to get in this game. There are some nice groups. I do 10 round groups...gives a better average overall. More rounds, more chance to make a mistake.
I went to an indoor range today. It turned out not to be much of an advantage. I had AR-15 on both sides of me. The one on the right of me was an SBR. Two benches to my left was a SCAR in .308. I felt like I was in a war zone.
The lighting was pretty dim at 50 yards too.
I’m not too happy with the results, but I have to start somewhere. This setup did great at a recent ARA Factory match. I have another VPT that is being lot tested at Lapua in AZ so I’ll have another entry soon.

I switch back and forth between an unbraked 300PRC and an 18 lbs 22LR. Sometimes there is an SKS mag dump on the line too. I like to work at ignoring the distractions.I went to an indoor range today.

My home club is BGSL in Wilmore, KY. Today I went to this indoor range (Openrange) in Crestwood, KY. I’ve shot ARA Factory class at Big Chief’s Rimfire Club in Pendleton, KY a handful of times.Where do you shoot if I may ask?
As far as I am concerned indoors is welcome. It doesn’t matter to me…jbell, I was not aware that you could shoot indoors for the 6x5. I have been testing indoors at a 50 yard range, and if it's ok, I can shoot the 50 yard indoor 6x5 and send in the results. It's just been too cold to get outside to shoot in SE Wisconsin. Please let me know if that is acceptable. If not, I understand, so no big deal. Only three more months until we start to see warmer temperatures around here!

Hey mate. I didnt post one. I just commented. Haha. But I do need to do one for 2022.....Rimfireshooter99 & Quickoz, I have you guys on the results. Quickoz I did the best I could to do the math backwards from the MOA listed on your best group to determine the group size to the thousandth of an inch. I noticed that several groups were 0.24” but had different MOA, so I picked the smallest MOA and worked backwards. I think I am very close but let me know if I messed up.
Ha! I must have smoked a little too much crack last night. For some reason I thought Hookturnr’s post was yours. My mistake, I’ll get it sorted out now!Hey mate. I didnt post one. I just commented. Haha. But I do need to do one for 2022.....
