Soon as I find a load my rifle likes I'd like to give this a go.

I like it. BC, if you would formalize the rules and target. I'm in. But we need one member to be in charge. It'll never work if we are going back and forth, well let's do it this way and another saying let's do it that way. Make the rules up a stick to em.

Ahh the challenges of factory loaded ammo. Today was a pretty windy day, constant 10mph wind that was gusting from right to left at 15ish mph. I shot some Hornady Black but was unhappy with the consistency of it. Made an adjustment to my scope based off that round (it shoots the same as factory SST for me). I then shot a 5 round group with my SST.

The first shot was quite high, but the next 4 grouped very nicely (aiming at the right corner of the big diamond) so I made one more adjustment to the scope (did not shoot any further confirmation shots) and decided it was time to try the challenge.

I loaded 5 more rounds from the same box of ammo and had at it. I shot bottom right, bottom left, center, top right, and then top left. I was super solid in my setup, prone on bipod with a rear bag. The gun was not moving, every round broke clean and I did not jerk any.

I'm quite angry about the first and last shot of the group! Seriously though my shooting was on point today and each one of those shots felt good. I should have shot a little more to really dial in the zero, but I was getting low on ammo.

I guess it's hard to read my writing on the paper:
-16" Ballistic Advantage Hanson barrel
-Larue MBT trigger
-Bushnell Forge 3-18
-Factory Hornady Custom SST 123gr.

65, challenge #1 is formalized, 100 yards sighted off target 5 shots on printed target.
The idea was to have different challenges suggested, to keep it fresh. I was also curious after following BFT's thread on accuracy if we could see any trends between build quality, ammo quality and shooter skill.

Meh, 123 grain Hornady SST ammo.

Interesting results I assumed the average score would be 10-15? But it seems to be more challenging then i thought?

Is this for ARs only or can us bolt gun shooters get in on the fun?

If it's Grendel it should be legal as far as I'm concerned.
