Just wow!
Can you believe that? I can’t!
I think I'd poop a little after shooting that group at 1k. That's stellar!
He needs to put a quarter up next to it and say "Pretty good ammo".
Worthless without a thumb and the words “when I do my part”. ?
Truly amazing accomplishment!
Yes... There might be other fluids involved as well.
Holy crap that's shooting... Wonder what the wind was
I just want to be able to do that consistently at 100 yards!
Well done!
Well done!
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Mike works hard at this sport. I'll get the honor of being one of three that measure that target for certification. I can't wait. The 600 yd. records are .336" and .404" for the two classes.
I can remember when a 10 shoot group in the single digits drew attention. Now it has to be under 5.000" before anyone notices.

That’s just amazing shooting right there. Wow. And congrats to him.
And here I sit just ecstatic when I get on target at 1k haha
Can you say WOW! enough? great shooting!
And don't forget "All day long" Then "call it a day"
This kind of shooting is just amazing, and I'm glad to see it's happening.

So awesome, and to see the second one also being in the X-Ring is equally amazing. Great job Mike!
Any insight on how he prepared his ammo?
Very well I would say he prepared it very well.....
What if he was a dumb ass like me and just walked up and got extremely lucky on 5 shots?
I'd be instant guru and could say any sort of shite and have people start doing it.
"Before this match I hit my wife in the cornhole."
I could make shit tough for wives throughout the shooting world before each and every match.

Nobody was lucky enough in 11 years to knock Sarver off the top spot, until now, and he beat it by a lot imo. The 600 yd BR group record has fallen a few times in the last few years alone, also with a 6BR ackley variant.
A few other interesting aspects to this. I didn’t know that the dasher was falling out of favor in benchrest at the same time it’s growing in our game. Looks like there’s been a shift towards ackley 6BR variants. Mr Wilson’s chamber uses a no turn neck. He must be at least skimming his necks, but clearly it’s not the ultra tight necks of the short range BR game. The 600 yd record was also a no-turn .272 neck. The BR scene is dominated(like 90% or better)by Krieger and Bartlein barrels, but the current records (600 and 1000yd) weren’t shot by either of those(Lederer and Brux instead).
When I get my machines set up again, I think I’m gonna build a 6BR something or other.
Congrats to Mr. Wilson on an incredible achievement!
Hawks Ridge is definitely windy and nuanced.... Some good shooting that day!
The 6br Ackley he used is shaped like a rectangle, I wonder how it would feed in a repeater?
I'm glad to we have an abundance of quality barrel manufacturers in this country.
Feeds great out of my Mausingfield using AICS mags with primal rights 6br kits.
Dang that's some shooting
Does the controlled round feed really help with those types of cartridges, or is the CRF not necessary?
Supposedly CRF is not necessary. The wife is getting a rifle built in 6BRA, and the action is a Lone Peak Fuzion (push feed). My gunsmith has been playing with 6BR and variant cartridges for a long time in push feed, mag fed actions - he says it's no issue.
I'm running a 6BRA in a Bighorn TL3 with AW mags and a HRD spacer kit. Feeds great. I believe Clay Blackketter won the Heat Stroke this year running a 6BRA in an Impact action.
Great little cartridge.
Ya you could make it tough on wives...SO DON'T!!
... HA HAThis guy, as Dave Tooley noted, ain't no beginner and he's worked for this kind of group.

The amount of luck to make that happen is like Mega Millions luck.
There are not that many shooters in the country to overcome those odds by chance.
That was skill.
We all know that skill gets you close then luck has to go your way. I've seen a relay at Hawks Ridge with 10 shooters. There were 3- 5" ten shot groups. Nobody paid any attention to those guys because there was a 4" group shot. Some days you're the bug and some days you're the windshield.
Here's a link to the match results for the 1K and 600 yd matches. Many 3" and 4" groups at some matches with the occasional 2". Many with equipment lists. Pay particular attention to the Montana 1000 YD. club. Those guys shoot a lot of small groups.

I'm impressed by the turnout alone.
In the Northeast there are probably not the many shooters in my whole state as their is for one match turnout.
Than to get that many interested in their one thing instead of all the other BS is another cause of wonder for me.
I need to get out more.
Thank you to you people in real America that hold the line.
You might be surprised....
Longish read, but very interesting info. Pay particular attention to what Alex Wheeler and "Tom" say in the thread.

Exactly
I never used a chrono much. In fact very seldom. The target tells all.
There were times I'd be driving to a match and say " Uh I needed another .5 gr. of powder" Sure enough I'd have vertical in my group. When you have rifles that accurate you learn a lot about load development and bullets.
I found it interesting that I had been using PC for the last 10 years not knowing it, via ladder testing at distance. I hardly went to that other site until SH went down for maintenance a while back, then got to reading about this phenomenon.
Many years ago I went through the chasing of lowest ES, extensive seating depth testing, 2-3 types of powder and primers, 2-3 kinds of bullets, that kind of stuff, and decided it was too much darn work and got pretty deep into throat erosion and barrel wear in the process. I'm not saying if a guy wants to do this it's wrong, like if shooting BR, but I didn't need to to win steel matches.
Best so far, at 323Y, doing the ladder in .1gr increments, for my current 6x47 barrel when it had a little over 100 rounds, 3 consecutive shots were touching with almost no vertical. That was first try and I was done. SD has been in the 6 - 7 fps range and I've had some very small groups at distance, like one enlarged splat on steel at 900Y, etc.
