I bring excuses. Lots of excuses.
I’ve made MOA with gas and bolt guns, but not lately. I can’t find the owners manual, so I’m not sure if I am supposed to clean them or not. That can’t have anything to do with decreased accuracy though. I think it’s because the ammo is now a few years older. The bullets haven’t been rotated, so I bet they are getting a flat side on them.

First he loans a rifle then suddenly you’re blowing $300 a weekend on match fees and ammo! Well, you hope it’s only $300 anyway.

Roll call. Page 1.
3 1/2 weeks to get ready. Want to donate? (Not required, but appreciated)… Cash on site PP… @GAHTFMOA Venmo or others…. Send me a message (Backstop expenses, gifts for sponsors, targets and staples for the shoot.) Food? We’ve always done a potluck luncheon with bbq pork. If y’all want to do that, chime in. Otherwise… I bought a bag of fun sized snickers and I’m thinking about bringing out Jolt colas and double strength coffee for all the shooters. Bang energy drinks for the kids. Some 5 hour energy shots as well. Lol |

I'll restate that I have "spare capacity" to provide a setup for anyone that wants to shoot but can't find ammo. I'd insist they not shoot my reloads in their gun but I have enough loaded for folks that want to shoot a string with one of my rifles. |

Yeah, I really just wanted to see how the new rifle was going perform. Got the chance to do a rough sight in but that was right as covid first hit and I haven't had a chance to shoot it since. Took me several years of saving up and buying parts when they came on sale plus parts I got for birthdays and Christmas's. Finally finished it just in time for everything to come to a grinding halt lol.
At least with the ammo ordered today I'll be able to take it to the Angry Emu and finally find out if it's going to be a shooter or a pooper. If I can't get at least a little under MOA I'll be pretty disappointed. |

I leave when the guy next to me breaks out a bow on a rifle range.

Not too familiar with the area but just looking at the map I'm guessing over an hour at least. Once I get the ammo we'll take it to the AE range and see how it goes. If I get too frustrated I may search out a better shooter to give it a try. It's not a high end build by any means. More of a solid mid budget build with a Faxon Gunner barrel. I don't expect match grade accuracy but very close to MOA. Our Loki 6.5 Grendel will shoot that well with its Liberty barrel. I gave that rifle away to my sister to build this one. If the new one doesn't shoot at least as well I'm going to cry lol. |
