Was the flyer you or the ammo?Another entry. Vudoo Apparition, 18" Ace barrel, Vortex 5X25 scope, bipod, rabbit ear rear bag, 50 yards, SK Pistol Match, 36 degrees. Average .312", best group .208". Look at that very last shot.

I think it was me. I've been a pistol shooter all my life and I'm just learning how to shoot from a bench with a rifle. Trigger control is extremely important as well as how I hold the rifle. I'm a work in progress.Was the flyer you or the ammo?

My goal is having fun shooting. 0.1" groups would be more fun than larger ones. There are several long range 22 matches locally where we shoot varying sizes and shapes of steel targets from 25 yards out to 250 yards or so. My goal is to do well at these matches. I'm finding that only accurate rifles are interesting.[/QUOTE][QUOTE="rick137, post: 7336418, member: 106930" Is your goal 0.1" or better groups?
JBell, that Anshutz is crazy good.
It was chilly, but warmer than lately!
Started a 6x5 @50 top row and next couple, then adjusted zero and drilled the dots... Definitely pulled a few, also rushing in the cold.
Last shot of the day was right on top of another .22 hole--right to the right of the orange dot, I had fun there, never stacked a shot before!
Also shot my tightest 10 round group ever, on the top left, down one, on the green target. The other big groups were standing and kneeling barricade work, humiliating fun...
Hey guys welcome back to the "NEW OLD HIDE", its good to be home!
So getting back to business I am starting the 6X5 thread over from scratch. Same rules:
Rules are pretty simple. There must be exactly six groups of 5 shots, all on one target board. No more, no less. No foulers on this board, every shot on the board must count. The groups need to be shot consecutively, this is not a thread for someone to post up their collection of best six groups, but their best group of six groups. Entries must be shot on or after 10/19/14. For now, lets keep this a bipod/rear bag or shooting off a ruck challenge, no mechanical rests. If enough people feel I should change that up, please let me know and I'll reconsider. (I would like to keep this as close to prone shooting as we can, so if you are able then please shoot prone. However if you cant for health reasons or other plausible reasons then go to a bench and enter your target with pride. But if you just want to squeeze that last few thousanths out of your group come on, man up and go prone!)
Each entry should have a picture of the target board, with the group measurements written on it. Include a pic of your rifle as well, as well as info on your setup, and how it was shot, weather conditions, etc. Only the best entry per person/rifle combo will be kept on the board, but enter as many times as you like, and I'll count multiple entries from multiple rifles. Same goes with best group at every distance.
This time I am doing a seperate post for the 50, 100, and 200+ yard line entry just to keep it easier to read. I am going on the same old format and making a running tally not just the top 10 or whatever. You will also see that I have a post for cold bore groups. Lets keep it as honest as possable as cold bore means FIRST ROUND FIRED THAT DAY preoid, end of story. So a cold bore plus 4. I will do any yard line you want for the cold bore so 50, 100, 200+. If you would note the distance from center for the cold bore shot if it is easy to measure (if you throw down a CB +4 that measures in the 0.1XX" then who the hell cares about the deviation at that point it is all shooter and conditions).
**Let me know if you are shooting in air temps under 40f. I will note it on the results as there is always the big question how do rimfires shoot in the cold.**
By ruck do you mean rucksack? Not to make work but it would be interesting to know the support-Bench or ground, front support bipod or ruck, rear support bag or shoulder.
Yes, originally when Bob (BM11) and myself created this thread we wanted to keep it more of "tactical" (I hate that word) or field style shooting. But as it grew we realized that there are some people who just physically cant get down on the ground to shoot off a bipod. So it is now open to whatever, besides we are all here trying to see what is possible with the little 22lr.
I agree it would be interesting to see the difference a style of rest makes. But it would only be an accurate test if the same shooter shooting the same rifle and ammo in the same conditions used the different rest. That would be pretty hard to accumulate much data because not many of us have the access to different style of rest.
Yes completely! I cant shoot off a bench as good as I can with a bipod off the ground.
A buddy turned me on to the fact that the wind dies down after dark.
Shot my best 6x5 to date. All conditions came together finally. Bern shooting every dY but nothing worth posting.View attachment 6986028
Alabusa: You may want to re-measure the smallest group. Most groups that are in the zero's center to center are going to look like one oblong hole. Yours is a very good group and it is impossible for anybody to measure from a photo but it still appears to be at nearly two bullet diameters wide since there are two holes barely touching. Keep in mind that most tgt paper leaves holes that are less than a full bullet diameter wide. If you take a set of calipers and measure first edge to edge and then center to center you can usually see a difference due to that fact. Just looking at the 0.098" group beside of the 0.309" group to the left of it. The smaller group appears to be about 2/3rd size of the larger one. Maybe I am not looking at it right. But it never hurts to double check. Take a close look at the 0.075" group posted by JBell in November and compare both pics. You will want to measure c-c at the widest point or measure a single bullet hole edge to edge measuring the far edges of the black ring on the paper to get your hole diameter and then measure the group edge to edge at the widest spot and then subtract the single hole diameter to get an approximation of the c-c group size.
Another item is to try using better quality tgt paper instead of copy paper. It costs more but is not expensive if you buy in bulk. The tgt paper cuts cleaner, larger holes making it easier to measure the groups accurately. I practice a lot on copy paper and it tends to cut more ragged holes with radial tears making them harder to measure. I bought a 100 pack of BR50 tgts from them over 4 years ago and am still using them. I think they cost about $25 for the whole pack including shipping. So it was a quarter per tgt. Put it in perspective, one round of Lapua Center-X ammo is going to cost more than the tgt.
It is no big deal. We just do it for fun anyway right? Clearly your groups are getting better and that means you are doing something right. Keep it up.

Thanks!Nice shooting, big improvement!
A, you ain't done.
You only proved you have what it takes to produce sub-moa at 50 yards.
Now the fun begins. Sub-moa at 100 and 200 yards.
What? You thought I'd let you stop now?
I see them on my end..... I dropped them in from imgur??? Lets try again...

What weight paper are the BR50 targets? I have been using 70 lb paper and even with that, I don't get clean holes.
