Here is my first submission from the GA HTF shoot. 100 Yards.

Rifle is a stock Tikka CTR 6.5 20" with Handloads (140 ELD / H4350 / Lapua Brass). Harris Bipod and red tac rear bag. I shot the string twice that day, first with a chassis and couldn't get comfortable. Mid day I grabbed the tupperware stock out that I was more accustomed to shooting and did better. I shot as good as I ever have. The spreading in the third group was the barrel heating up. I slowed down for 4 and 5 and it helped. One thing I didn't think about was my loads heating up in the chamber and getting a little erratic.

Obviously if I slowed down I could improve on this a bit based on the first two groups.

.555 - .264 = .291
.645-.264 = .381
1.076-.264 = .812
.845-.264 = .581
.952-.264 = .688

.5258 MOA average

Bolt Action 100 Yards, Robpiat: Tikka CTR 6.5 Creedmoor- Sightron S-TAC 4-20x - Handloads 140 ELD . Groups: .291 .381 .812 .581 .688 = avg. .5506" = .5258 MOA

Finally got around to shooting an entry for this.

Conditions were not too good.  Variable cross wind at around 5 mph, gusting to around 10 mph at times.  Sun was glaring off my scope some as well.  Also, my magazine consistently fails to feed and the spring that makes my mag release work got lost somehow .  So I had to single feed today.  I was also rushed for time so my results are, I feel, substandard compared to what I've shot with this rifle previously.  I'll be re-shooting this one in the future.

Without further ado...

JamesP81 - Bolt Division 100 yards
Savage Hog Hunter 223 Remington.  Fitted to a Bell and Carlson M40 Stock with PTG bottom metal.  Factory barrel and factory Accutrigger.
SWFA SS 12x fixed power
Ammo: Handloads, new Winchester brass, 24.8gr IMR 8208XBR, 52gr SMKs, loaded to 2.20 COL
Groups: 1.004" / 0.943" / 0.996" / 0.69" / 1.036".  Average = 0.934" = 0.892 MOA


Here's the rifle:

I feel like I can do better, but every group was sub-moa (some of them barely) so I was happy about that. A most excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon, regardless.

Hate to bring up old $hit but isn't this rear bag in the actual example of how to do this challenge the exact same size (maybe bigger)as the bag you are saying is too big?

This entry needs to bump my previous entry off the roster... also, I removed half the sand from my old sock to make it the size of a fist and I actually like it more. This is just some load development I did today, I think I'll go with 41.8gr H4350... might reshoot this some day to get into the top 10.

Front bag, no other support, to be fair, I used to use this rifle for 1000 yard shoots.

I really have no real way to measure, figured it was good enough on the ARFCOM  small target.

Thanks for firing me up, been at least 2 years since I shot this rifle!

Going back and looking at the rules, you are 100% correct, my apologies.

FWIW, this is my initial target at that range, started top left with a called cold barrel shot.

Bottom right is a 5 shot string (which was the group immediately before the one in OP).

And really, I need to fire 25 rounds to "prove" my ability to hit a target?

Naw, accept what I did or not, I'm not wasting ammo just to be part of your group.

You do understand that the ability to hit a target is called "accuracy" and the ability to hit the target in the same place is called "precision" which is what is being talked about in this thread.  You could actually MISS the targets and still get top spot (if all your holes were in the same hole), OR you could never miss the target and be near the bottom(all pentagon pattern).

Since it's going to rain tomorrow I wanted to shoot this afternoon as I'd put my M77 Mk II VT in a Hogue stock (aluminum bedding block, not the way too flexible pillar bed stock) and wanted to see how it shot.

It was a little windy today, with a 8-10 mph half value cross gusting to 12-15 mph, and I didn't start out with an MOA challenge in mind, but the first group was great, and was on a clean target, so I thought I'd see how it would do with five groups in a row.

If you're referring to the scope, that was an error -- my '12 AX has a Vortex Razor II (pictured) and my '17 has the Kahles. Edited. Otherwise, no, all same day except the tape measure pic. The brass in the pic held the bullets that made the holes.

The hardware was willing, but the flesh was weak. A couple shooter errors on the top groups kept this from being a really nice target. This won't be the last entry from this rifle, I'm certain I'll do better than this soon.

My daughter hasn't done an MOA all day challenge yet but did pretty well on her 50 yard target.

2017 Accuracy International AX in 6.5 Creedmoor with Factory 140gr Hornady ELD-M, Thunderbeast Ultra 7 6.5 and Kahles 624i. Atlas bipod in front, cross-tac squeeze back in rear.

Bolt division 100yd, Keyst0ne: 2017 Accuracy International AX 6.5 Creedmoor - Thunderbeast Ultra 7 6.5 - Kahles 624i (SKMR3) - Hornady 147gr ELD-M. Groups: 1.033"/0.867"/0.421"/0.696"/0.478" = avg. 0.699" = 0.640 MOA

Had a good day of shooting but cold.  I put cold bore down as 6 degrees with the suppressor on because I would rather have data for that.  I pulled the can off and shot two sighters followed by the challenge.  Its hard having your body be cold but the gun get hot but when life gives you lemons you treat yourself to something sweet.

But first you take a selfie.






First group was center up I felt pretty good about myself.  I allowed very minimal time for cooling and to take a second to breathe.  I started to really notice mirage at about round 8 and was noting it in my log book but it was pretty much a constant from there on.  If I were to do it again I would rig up some kind of mirage strap for this kind of light weight barrel.  Shot off of a BR front rest with a little midway triangle squeeze.  These entered rounds 846-873 on this gun.

The tipped match kings shot really well but to be very honest it felt a pretty terrible waste to be shooting them into paper at 100 yards while gaining almost nothing from it.  I have looked at this challenge a couple of times and figured 25 rounds without much for human error is pretty tough and wanted to give it a try.  I would guess there are some people that really enjoy this pursuit but I would rather be shooting steel in the wind or coyotes in the field I think.

Forgot about that minor detail doesn't really matter much either way was good to shoot I would like to see it done with 3 shot groups over 10 sets.  I might have to lay the rifle down while doing something else and try that this spring when it isn't as cold.

Doesn't look like my shots were updated onto the list not sure if the original poster is active?  Perhaps I shot in vain.

This is an improvement for a rifle I have already entered a couple times up above ...this time I shot with handloads instead of factory ammo. The last entry of mine that this new entry improved upon was #44.

When you use software to measure group size you need to make sure the target is square within the frame of the camera. The software is 2D so any tilt of the camera will throw the measurements off due to perspective. It will make some groups larger and some smaller depending on what you used as a scale for the software.

Yes this is important. If your inch is 120 pixels wide at the bottom and 100 pixels wide at the top it will end with 1" = 110 pixels). But to the point above, in this example groups at the bottom will be 80% smaller than groups at the top if you used the top for calibration.

Another software tip -- measure the longest calibration distance you can -- i.e. if you have 1" squares on your target, don't just measure one square. Measure 5-8 squares (however many you have visible in the picture) and enter that distance.

This will minimize error from the positioning of your start and end points.
