    Hunting with an AR?

    6.5 creed 130 Berger OTM FGMM. 215 yds

    Looking for general hunting gun for Florida hogs and deer.

    Grendel and I don’t even own one. If I built a lightweight, compact, dedicated hunting AR it would be a 6.5 Grendel

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    So I removed the cap, battery (contacts were all very tight, and assembled. Works fine again 🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ll be running it pretty often and update my post if it occurs again. Appreciate it

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    Got to the range to dial mine in today. First impressions were all great. Zeroed it, went straight to 600 and 700 both center impacts off my data. Then the negative. Carried it on a hunt this evening, went to illuminate my reticle, nothing. Moved the knob power high still nothing. Knowing...

    My first S&B and in MSR2 my favorite. Looking forward to getting some time behind it.

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    Ouch….. you fella’s ok? Need a drink, hug? Lol No offense taken, but it took four hunts to do it at 600 vs. could have taken multiple’s closer that traveled natural trails. Much easier to hunt deer going or coming to/from bait than on it in our area. I’ve hunted mountain areas too without...

    22ARC or 6ARC AR15 for coyotes under 500 yards?

    I’d lean 22 arc. Fast and flat. I have a 6 arc and it hits them with authority but need to really rely on my holds to much for quick shooting past 250. I built a 204 Ruger this year with a 20” proof CF barrel shoots Hornady 40 gr vmax at 3722 fps avg and absolutely flattens them. 2” high...

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    I have another load I have worked up in my 308 ar’s I have hunted with using 125 gr NBT’s. Can run them hard 3050/2950 from a 20”/16” barrel, fly like a laser, stupid accurate, and will flatten deer and hogs. They hold up equally or better than my 178 match bullets on game, it’s a tough little...

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    No exit. Shot quartering slightly. Tucked it mid ribs aiming for off side shoulder. Found the bullet (or just the lead slug) resting in the hide after breaking through the thickest part of the scapula.

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    My own build, nothing fancy it’s just consistent. It started with a 16” Proof CF and it hated a suppressor so I switched to a 16” Ultramatch to try and keep weight down. It’s a pretty consistent .75 moa shooter and honestly I haven’t dialed in a load for it. I threw three 175/178 bullets over...

    Pretty dang close. Lol. South Ga. About 1 hr 30 min from the FL line.

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    I have never shot this barrel without it so honestly I can’t say. I have some others I had before the AB’s & I put them on those and they had a change in POI but accuracy stayed the same.

    Turned my range into a hunting stand 😅

    600 yard hunting challenge complete

    I set myself a goal this year to take a deer at 600 yards with an AR rifle. To be sure it was up for the task every time I went to the range even shooting other rifles I shot 1 cold bore shot at 600 to be sure it was always consistent. I carry this rifle to 900 on a normal basis. This...

    Hunting with an AR?

    It’s something I never thought of before but when I started using my AR’s it’s quickly became a primary thought. Lol

    Hunting with an AR?

    Used the 60 gr interlock in a 22-250 with a 28” barrel taking deer on permits out to almost 400 yards. Was my favorite for that rifle and hammered deer and hogs. It’ll have no problem holding up to 223.

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    Great first range session and definitely good to see one of your kids out enjoying it with you. We may be learning from her one day 😉. Looking forward to some good time behind it with multiple 5 rds or 10 rds groups to see how it fairs with consistency.

    Precision AR -15 10 shot moa groups

    Agreed! add in ammo, fuel if you travel to the range, and time is worth a lot these days. I’d rather buy a known barrel that shoots and be done.
