Are you guys seeing any accuracy discrepancy between the different flash hiders people are ordering?

Mine with the standard A2 had a .8 test target with it.

Mine was .840 with the surefire brake.

That was with 10-20 mph winds.

I was wondering about that detail.  I was hoping that all the test targets were shot with the A2 device.

My test target was.9 with an A2, but I'm getting .5's now with my handloads.

So, Were all test shots were with A2 flash hiders, or with the flash hides that were ordered with each Rifle???

175 SMK over 42.2 of H4895 in Rem brass with CCI primers.

We're shooting it at 1000, 1100, and if it will make it, 1200 on Friday morning. I'll post results.

My OBR shipped with the SF and a .68 test target.

Testing with some older M118LR the best 5 shot group was .35 with an avg around .5. Federal GMM 175 shot pretty bad for me with an avg around .8, BH 175 Match worked pretty well shooting an avg of .5 (20 rounds of each in case anyone cares)

I happened to notice that Larue's OBR mags allow for a slightly longer COAL then the DPMS mags I have for a LR308, just long enough that I could fit some tuned loads from one of my bolt rifles...It kind of surprised me, but it was shooting in the .3-.4 range. I may have to further develop this load for the OBR.

All shots were @100yd from a bench.

!!!STANDARD DISCLAIMER ABOUT NEEDING TO WORK UP TO THIS!!!

LC LR '01/'02 once fired brass
46.3gr of RL15
Fed 210M
155gr Lapua Scenar
~2.850 COAL (If someone wants ogive measurement let me know)

Out of a factory 26" TRG-22 it runs @2950fps - I have not put the OBR behind a chronogaph yet...

That's good stuff!

Mine hasn't grouped as well as yours yet, but we did have some awesome results with the OBR at 1100 yards this morning. Pics and a range report to come as soon as 308Sako emails me the pictures.
