Thread: An accuracy challenge

Two barrel brands i consistently get load developments down to and often under .2 moa groups are Kreigers, and Blasers

I have tried to hate blasers but they are freakin accurate

I have a sako 75 in 223 with a 1 in 8 that shoots .2 with nosler BT projectiles but thats more the exception than the norm as usually Sakos can get down to .3 occasionally with the odd one at .25 moa.

The rest of course is up to the fella behind the trigger

Interesting @7mmsaum . How do you find some of the cheaper rifles compared to those figures?

Happy with my R8. It's taken a while to get a good load. 168gr Amax .
This is from a fine day on Monday. The best so far . 200 yards one 3 shot group one 4 and 1 shot from a lighter loads. Oops.

My Rem 700 based tactical in 300 win mag wasn't bad either with 208 gr reloads. Again at 200 yards.
Measured in mm. But frustratingly doesn't do this every day.

I checked a couple of loads at Kaitoke yesterday afternoon in perfect conditions; no wind and overcast. The long range hunting project is shooting well and as usual there is no way I can keep up. Shot prone off the grass with a bipod. One small change of position or slightly less preload and the shots pull out of the group.....damn. Three fouling shots then 10 shots into each.

Those are damn good groups for 10shots!

Thanks 233nut. 193metres (211 yards), the squares are half MOA. This one here but wears an NXS 5.5-22 now.

It didn't help recording velocities on paper between shots and then the RO calling time for checking targets halfway during each group

Finally I'm starting to shoot as well as my rifle can.

A 60.03 @ 800 yards in March and a 60.05 at 300 yards in June.
Next challenge - do it more often.

Each square on the e-target screen is 1 MOA.
The 6 ring is about 1 MOA in diameter, the X ring about 1/2 MOA.

I was going to go out skiing today but the weather was crap so I'd though I'd this a crack instead.

This is my standard Rem700 Tac in 233 wearing a HD5 5-25 firing factory OSA (Buffalo River) 55gr Blitzking ammo. All fire withen about a half hour so the barrel was pretty hot towards the end.

5x 5 shot group @ 104m. I thought I'd f#@&%d it up with the centre group which was the last one but it snuck in by less than a mm. Not to bad for factory ammo and a factory rifle!!

Not bad for a factory rifle and ammo

Gave the THLR test a go the other week. Pleasantly surprised how I went...

With the weather a bit on the rubbish side, I decided to pop out between showers to the 25m range in the back paddock with the CZ455. It's been ages since I put holes in paper with it (normally rabbits and hares).



Don't think I need to look for different brand of ammo any time soon. 0.6 MOA with hunting ammo.

Sweet man what was that with? You would have probably nailed the 1/2 moa one there with that shooting. I plan on doing it tomorrow, got the new paper too with the 100m proficiency test on it as well. Be interesting

Was with the .223 that i've sold Yeah I see Thomas has changed it, will have to print some new ones once I'm back on nightshift

Weather is mint this morning so I got the HMR out to shoot some groups. I thought it would go close as it had grouped very well in the past but I'd never put 5x groups down back to back.
Factory rifle and factory CCI 17gr TNT ammo @ 104m.

Not bad for a rimfire aye!
