Precision AR -15 10 shot moa groups

Old thread, timeless topic.

Much more than just the gun when shooting 10 shot groups, even with a capable gun & capable ammo.

Concentration & technique become paramount. Mainting cheek weld & consistent sight picture is very hard over 10 shots with a gas gun, even with bags like the Bull's mentioned in previous comments.

Truly it takes a supberb effort to shoot 10 shot <MOA, consistently by most people.

As time has passed, I think shooting a series of 5x5's is a better assessment of the system (shooter, gun, ammo) than is 10 shots for MOST shooters. At least for me, & in MHO.

None of my "working" guns have PRS stocks nor do they have very heavy profile barrels, as they are intended for purposes other than bench competition, but the stock (& subsequent improvement in consistent cheek weld) & barrel weight/stiffness are big steps forward in group shooting.

And, I've come more to subscribe to what Jack Leuba is trying to relate in this old article. Let's Talk About Accuracy

Also, here's a link to another long running thread about "regular" guys chasing the 10 shot / MOA Grail as well for your reading enjoyment.

Autotricklet V4 mechanical reliability and customer service?

I was using a RCBS matchmaster and the large tube broke. So far, RCBS has been less than responsive about sending it in for repair, which makes me want to consider an alternative. How is the AutoTrickler V4's mechanical reliability and CS? By this I don't mean accuracy of charge weight, though that certainly matters. I mean how likely is it to break, and if it does how responsive/easy is the company about repair?

20 MOA Base for 450 Bushmaster Subsonic

I just purchase a Ruger Gunsite in 450 Bushmaster for hunting deer in OH. Intend to shoot mostly subsonic rounds though it. The scope I will use for it gives me 15 mil up w/ a 0 moa base. This will let me get out to 400 yards. W/ a 20 MOA base I can get out to 500 yards. I don't think that the round will be effective (even for steel never mind deer) past 400 yards. Any downside in getting the 20 MOA base? expect most shots to be at 200 yards or so where elevation would be 4.6 mils.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

I'd shoot for the whole thing, and then only stop/relent at what I really wanted.
It seems that Putin has dragged this out to deplete the inventories of NATO while not going full nuke in order to cause a significant delay in any real NATO involvement so that Russia can modernize and mobilize their economy for a bigger conflict. It wasn’t just pushing back NATO from encroaching on their border as well as gaining the areas that voted to leave Ukraine. They also used the time to continue to firm up BRICS and their payment system.

If this doesn’t go full canned sunshine they have purchased significant time for Russia and its allies to see the current battlefield technology and create countermeasures. The mobilization of the Oreshnik system is part of that, and there are statements out in the public sphere stating that Russia is wanting to station some of them in Central America. Add to that China’s presence.

While Ukraine is the conflict in our face it appears to have also been a deflection from other things the Russians were doing, namely eroding dollar hegemony.
