OK, off to an early start. I hope to reshoot later in the month and maybe improve, but at least I wanted to get these posted. Thanks for running this contest.

Gdawg09, I have your scores posted.

Hey Mr. Larry,

I have a couple questions. It slipped by me somehow but the targets I had printed off are Match Grade instead of Unlimited. This was my mistake. Is there a difference in the two? Also, for an X, do I have to touch the center dot or take it out completely?

Thank You Sir

Thank You Sir

The bulls on the Match Grade and Unlimited are the same size, so no difference there, and no problem. For the X-count, you only need to touch the dot, to score an "X". I'll move your score to the Unlimited group since that is what you intended. Thanks for asking your question and for shooting.

Thank you Sir!!!

I shot another target today, that's when I noticed the BIG writing on the top that said Match Grade.

I'll get it scored and send it your way.

I'll see about getting the right targets printed off. Sorry for all the trouble.

Here's my Unlimited target from today, and a few pics from the range.

BowChamp, very good shooting! I have your scores posted.

Does SK Semi-Auto always shoot this consistently?

[JohnMetcalf]

Larry, and fellow shooters, I hope you had a great Independence Day and had time with family and friends.

Larry, attached is my July Factory match results. Almost perfect weather here.

Thanks for posting pics from your range.

You are very welcome Sir. I like to see how others are shooting so thought I'd share mine.

Mr. Larry.

So far it has. I've only shot about 100 rds of it so far. I've seen a couple shooters mention it and I had a chance to buy a case at what I think is a very fair price...so I rolled the dice and jumped on it.

Here's my first go with it. Started with a clean barrel...... Top left sighter is the first 10 shots, foulers and one scope adjustment, last shot drilled the center. I then shot all 25 bulls for score. Got carried away and let the strong 15 MPH gust get me on 3 shots...got lucky on bull #20...not so much on bulls #2 and #4. Then I shot all the sighters on the right..said hummm. I went back to the three lower left sighters and shot 5 shots into each of them...yes....those are three 5 shot groups. This why I decided to give it a try on the JBELL target. So both targets in under 100 rds.

Now I wish I had 5 cases of this lot#!!! LOL!!! Again...Thank you Sir for keeping up with all this, for us!!

Here are two of my July targets.
Could you answer me on how to count an X on Unlimited and Match Grade? Do you touch the dot or cover it completely?
Thanks
Jerry

Fine shooting Sir!!!

I had the same question, just to make sure I was scoring properly. I've seen it both ways....ARA takes it out and PSL touches it.

This was Mr. Larry's response.....

BowChamp, thanks for sharing the info. It's been hard to find some good ammo, and I have not tried any SK. I might just have to try some and see how it shoots in my rifle.

You know...I thought I was losing my mind. I've seen you mention several times all the rules were on the first page and I've looked.

Come to find out...I'm just cock-eyed!!

I just found them!!! LOL!!! In the last PDF File.

Thank you Larry.

Fresh post to move the thread back to the first page.

 

[Precision Quest]

This is for the JBell 6X5 - shot by me on July 21 / 2023 at exactly 50 yards:

6X5 best of .2388

- Vudoo 360 MPA Comp Chassis
- Vortex Strike Eagle Scope
- 2 different lots of SK Std Plus
- Shot from bipod and rear bag

- 6X5 aggregate average of .2388 (using a bullet diameter of .220). However, I am not sure what diameter to use, as I see some using .222? At a bullet diameter of .222 diameter the group size average is .2368". SK STD Plus lot 22911

- 6X5 aggregate average of .278 (using a bullet diam of .220). lot 20023

Eventhough this is my first post - I have been following this site for a long time and finally decided to join up. Love the rimfire section.
Not sure if we are supposed to post pics of the gun or not? I never took a pic yesterday at the range though. This is a pic taken earlier with a Delta Stryker on top.

Rifle pics are not required, but thanks for including yours. Nice looking Vudoo!

Which group would you prefer I post? In your first 6x5, the overall average is the best (.238 vs .278), and in the second 6x5, the best individual group (.131 vs .165) is best?

Thanks for shooting and posting!

- Athlon Midas TAC
- ELEY Semi Auto BR
- Shot from bipod and rear bag

Please use the 6X5 average of .238 for the best average. Are we able to use the second group that has the .131 for best group? If the best group has to come from the best 6X5, then please still use the .238 average.

The aggregates are what I was really after in doing a 6X5 - to compare lots and evaluate precision.
thanks

We pick the best individual group from your best 6x5 group, but in this case, you shot two sets, so I wanted to check which you wanted me to post for you. You can also re-shoot matches during the month, and if your results are improved, then I'll change your posted results to the new values.

I have your scores posted!

Shoot date August 2nd.
First time - lots of fun shooting the wind. I couldn't properly see the centre dot with my Midas Tac 25 power scope.

KIDD 10/22 - Match Grade Rifle Match 50 yards.
Ammo: Eley Semi Auto
Shot from bipod and rear bag

 

[Precision Quest]

CZ 457
RWS Special Match - first time trying it.

6X5 = Aggregate Average .348
Best group .125"...close but near impossible to get a 0.0X group outer black edge to black edge. Probably mostly a fluke.

Shot from bipod and rear bag

[Precision Quest]

Vudoo 360
SK Standard Plus - lot 22911

6X5 Aggregate Avg = please use 6X5 totalling .228"

Did two of these today. 50yd Factory with a CZ 452 American and 50yd Iron Sight with a Kimber 82 Govt. both with Remington Eley Target Rifle. Haven’t played with that Kimber with the aperture sights in a looooong time.

TX_Dan, you're the first ever iron sight submission, and boy did you tear it up at 50 yards! Well done! I have your scores posted. When I first started shooting .22 rifles, I had a H&R Model 12. I miss that rifle, but it had a scope on it, not the iron sights that you used.

Ammo - Eley SA BR

Hey Larry, and good afternoon. While you were avoiding the cold in the winter, I find myself avoiding the heat here in Charlotte. To find a cool morning has been difficult.
I headed to the range on Sunday to shoot and went to pull out a target for my Factory Match and found I had used the last one last month. I did find a Match Grade target. So I shot this one for grins. Definitely not the best score, but heck any shooting is fun.

Have a great what's left of summer,
John
