@Rush upgrade target for semi auto class

Great idea here guys, I only saw this thread yesterday so I got out the rifles and gave it a nudge. I shot these 4x targets this morning before the wind picked up to bad, I shot a target with CCI SD just for reference and I was testing the Fiocchi hollow points for the first time.

Those last targets look like winners

both of @suthys last targets shot with the b14 .317
and the 1416 .276
were both winners capable of takeing 1st place from @6x47 at .359

I'm scoring this comp based on your best target for each category as you know
so once you enter a target better than your previous one for that particular category the previous one is now void
I'm doing it this way to share the love an stop one person from winning the hole lot

so you can enter as many times as you like in each category but only the best target for each category is valid

A new to me Lithgow LA101 arrived this week - looks like it might shoot!!

A group with my good batch of S&B 0.264, with Eley Club 0.432 . . . can I claw my way back into the leader board or was that just a one group wonder with beginners luck!

I pulled mine out the other day and put its nightforce back on it so good to go!
I have printed target's so just need to sit down and pull the trigger.
Shot yesterday and today but only a couple of my thirty cals.
To many rifles not enough time!

Bloody 22 shooting "writ large". Been waiting for a good morning to test the new to me Lithgow, got the morning but had a hot round that blew a group. I'll have to try again if I'm to disturb the leaderboard I think!



Cheers

Keep trying.

Hey guys shooting this challenge - do you have a particular order you shoot the targets ?? Does anyone shoot one shot at each target in a round robin until all have 5 in them ??

i shoot top left top right center bottom left bottom right

don't think it really matters tbh the less you have to move shooting positions between groups the better though

I shoot 5 shots at each target then set up for the next one. It certainly is harder than it looks and inconsistent ammo doesn't help, might buy some Eley target stuff and try that. Have put a 4x Leupold on my Krico which is far better than the Simmons I had on it , sighted it in at 25 yards and had 5 shots in a enlarged one hole. 50 yards will be a lot harder.

We were out at range today sharpening couple of rifles for a bunny shoot this weekend.

@gadgetman gets the new-to-me Howa 223 shooting 0.4" at 100 with factory Fiocchi SP 55gr, then calls it quits. Not going to improve easily on that. The Howas really are fine shooters.

Then I put few groups through a little Marlin 795SS semiauto to tweak it. Just 3 shot groups for this purpose, but it shot best of 0.39", and the average of three groups was 0.58". And that's not 50 meters - its 75m. That is very sharp for a wee worker semi - and that's using hunting CCI minimag HV ammo which is not match quality. At 50m that'd probly equate to about a 0.38-39" group average. Hmmm.. must test it at 50 sometime and with better ammos. It is a treat to find accurate hunter 22s, and the little Marlin 22s with their excellent microgroove barrels can be very sharp indeed.

Rightly called it quits. Aim of the range mission was just to sight in. Mission accomplished. Now bring on the bunnies. If you miss it will be your fault.
