too bad about the hbar colt.... yeah, that wind can really screw with you even at 300yards if you don't take it into account.
really fun tho is it not!?!?
nice work myself and i'll update the boards later tonight.... very nice... very nice.

First the Triumph: Took my M21 back to the range today for another go because a) it was so much fun last time and b) I felt good
about my learning curve two days ago and wanted to give it another shot. Went sub MOA overall and 3X out of six.
Conditions were pretty windy shifting every few minutes.
I don't think it affected my overall average, but it sure did push my groups around. In other words, I shot through it but
couldn't "dope" it.
Shot on 6.19.13
Rifle: SA M21/M1A using front and Rear Bags
Barrel: 22" Stainless Krieger Match Barrel
Optics: Bushnell 3.5-30X50 set at 21X
Mount: Basset Low Rise Detachable
Ammunition: Federal 168 gr. GMM .308
Average: 3.037" (3.037/3.141 = 0.967 MOA)
Best Group: 2.134" (2.134/3.141 = 0.679 MOA)
New M21 300 Yard Target
2.532" + 4.211" + 3.553" + 2.134" 3.414" + 2.379" = 18.223/6 = 3.037 Average (3.037/3.141 = 0.967 MOA)
New M21 Best Group 2.134" (2.134/3.141 = 0.679MOA)
M21
Now the tragedy: I brought my Pre-Ban "hand selected" stock Colt HBAR Competition M6700 and shot six groups during blustery conditions. It's really been a pretty accurate rifle. I wanted to put this old Colt on the boards while I still can. Things looked O.K. through the spotting scope, but its hard to see .223 holes at 300 yards with mirage. When I went out to check, two of the consecutive groups had blown right (the wind direction) and one group was hugging the right edge and one shot of that group was off the paper. I kid you not. Next time. LOL
Colt HBAR Tragedy!
