300 yard target pic

[Cbmax]

Hi,

Here is a picture of a group at 300 yards off the bench. Nothing fanastic, but wanted to share anyhow. Still kind of new to this distance. Rifle is a custom built bolt action .308 on an AI chassis. Total round count was 11. Couple of flyers!

According to the forum rules, I believe pics of 1 ten shot group is acceptable.

Nice job. Other than the flyers you've done very well. BUT flyers still count haha. Thanks for sharing. What was the final grouping measurements?

Re: 300 yard target pic

Didn't measure the final group, but the Shoot N C is a 3 inch circle.

I just read the group shot rules again and I see that this picture is still against the rules. Mods are looking for 10 shots on 10 1/2 inch dots spaced 2 MOA apart at 300 yards.

My range technically doesn't allow multiple aiming points on a single target frame, but I will see what I can do next time.

Thanks for looking!

Seems to me that it meets the rules.

Inside 300 yards you must post at least (4) 5 shot groups that can be identified on target <span style="font-weight: bold">or you may post (1) 10 shot group for record.</span>

Re: 300 yard target pic

i think you need to reread the rules......i understand it as 300 or more yards is 5 shot min on target anything over 2 moa at the yardage shot is a miss....i see you target as 9 maybe 10 shots (can't tell where 6in would be)

you also have to show unedited target

i think you good with what you posted...if not i'm sure it will be corrected

good shooting

Okay cool. Max distance at my range is 300 yards.

I'll keep posting. Hopefully groups get smaller and no flyers!

Coming along. I have yet to make it out to 300 yards as I'm finally tightening up my 100yd groups. Good job.

Nice job. Keep shooting and those groups will tighten up. The gun seems capable.

Ebby,

Thanks! I think the gun is capable. I am using a Nightforce 12-42X56 scope with NP-2DD reticle. I built the rifle for the tactical matches at my range which are shot at known distances.

I currently loading 168 grain SMK over 43 grains of Varget. Cartridge OAL is 2.817. I am using Lapua and Federal brass and Federal large rifle primers.

At 100 yards, I can easily shoot one hole groups off the bench. At 300 yards things become a bit more difficult. I am shooting off the bench at 300 yards, but I am also trying to master shooting prone which is pretty challenging for me.
