So we went to the shooting range and did some longe range shooting.
First 300m or 330yards:

69grs S&B Match did about MOA "groups". Here is the best 3.3inch well under MOA:

I shot also 69grs Federal Gold Match. Here is the group little bit over MOA: (Notice that all of the numbers are centimeters NOT inches!)

Then we went to the 550m or 600yards:

At this point it started to rain and the wind was building up but I managed to shoot 5 shot group:

The "group" is about 12 inches which is about 2MOA which is quite good considering the weather which was pretty bad. My friend shoot with his TRG-42 338 Lapua Magnum about 5 minutes after me and didn't hit the target at all. That's how bad the weather was.

Then we went to the 700m or about 770yards and this point the rain and wind stopped completely:

As you can see the target is between those trees hisSo I didn't expect any wonders when we walked to the targets.

Here's what I found:

Four holes on the target. One missed.
Other group:

Again four on the target (there is also holes on the target from previous groups).
There was lots of vertical difference but I think it was quite minimal considering the distance and the caliber.

I'm quite happy how thw AR/Bushmaster performed. It has stock barrel the shooter ain't so goodhe
Next time we go even furter and I make sure that all the rails is glued to the gun

Great post!  I had to do a double take on the ruler, before I realized your's was in centimeters.  That's some good shooting.

Unless a tornado touched down on the range, during a hail storm, your buddy missed the target because HE missed the target.


Good shooting on your part though.

Thanks for posting and good shooting.  My first impression was not liking your scope base.   I humbly suggest Badger or IOR rings and an ARMS Swan Sleeve.

The scope base is pretty cheap I admit but it does its job (actually it didn't cos it came loose) but you know what I mean .
