Let's see your targets and groups!

Shot #21-26 on a complete PSA upper mated to aero precision lower. The first box was just making sure it would reliably go bang. 1” squares.

The lower was my first build, and I’m not ready to try assembling the upper just set.

Magpul BUIS at 100 yds, Caldwell rest up front, no bags or other support for the stock. The lower 3 set windage, the upper two set elevation. Rolled back down elevation and Small shift in hold point sent the last one through the center.

Then, time ran out. I’ll take her back out on Tuesday with a TRS-25.

Post your results. I expect 2" at the most if all is well. Not the most accurate stuff but holds its own.

OK ran some 55g American Gunner through it. It responded well. First group a little bigger. Calmed it down on the second group. I noticed my AR is a 1:7 twist. Guess maybe I run some heaver bullets and check my results again.

Definitely minute of Coyote now.

Guncrafter 1911 CCO, .45. Freehand, 15 yards. 230 grain FMJ plinking ammo (probably CCI Blazer or Fiocchi, possibly WWB). If I remember correctly, this would be about 28 rounds from each. Fired in pairs.

Very accurate pistols, far more accurate than I am. Admittedly, this was one of my better days when I was getting more frequent range time.

Damn good shooting with a red dot

I cheated a little and bagged the gun front/back to see what I could wring out. For kicks I shot the same series with 55gr, which did not produce similar results.

Pleasantly surprised at the capability of a $300 PSA upper.

My strings all have a vertical component to them; that’s me, I’m guessing.

10rd group at 642yds with 223 ackley. Only thing in the polaris at the time for size ref was the generic redneck measuring tool.. 21" barrel running 80gr vld at 3906fps. Rifle is a surgeon 591 with a broughton barrel in a McMillan and was wearing a 3-15x50 premier at this time.

Same basic rifle but with a 22 creed barrel. Last 3rds that trip at 942rds. 90gr Berger vld running 3107fps from a 23" broughton barrel. Wearing a 5-25 Schmidt now.

 

[dee]

Another few with the surgeon but with the 6mm creed barrel. Running 115gr DTAC rbt bullets at 3050fps from a 28" mullerworks 4gv barrel. Target cam pic is from a mile (1760yds) shoot. Went 4 outta 5 on it with no spotter to win a side bet at a match with closest to center. 3 shot group was at 942yds on a piece of 3/16" steel that stops most everything except this lol. Last 3 shots of the day and layed one hell of a group.

 

[dee]

6mm creed built off a 700 sitting in a manners t5a with a 22" bartlien running 105gr Nosler RDF at 2980fps. 5rds at 642yds (i think. Do know it was over 600 but not sure if 642 is exact off memory)

 

[Hoji]

One shot group from DPMS LR308.

165 yards between a bunch of brushy mesquite.

Round was a 175 gr Federal Gold Medal Match.

Zero tracking involved.

 

[oldag]

I am impressed with you long range shooters. My eyes won't support that kind of shooting.

 

[Hoji]

Another 1 shot group. 15 yards. 7.5” Ruger Super Redhawk .44 mag.

200gr Barnes TSX. Skull pic is exit.

Man that's some damn fine shooting.

One correction though... that is not a generic redneck measuring tool. That is a Mexican tape measure.

 

[benenglish]

22 creed barrel

What's the barrel life like? I'm particularly curious since you're pushing heavy BTs like that.

 

[FireInTheWire]

10 shot group @ 318yrds. Core15 rifle.

55g American Gunner. 12mph 4oclock wind. Not too bad... I think I'm going to pre-order a stretch16 barrel. See how it responds to that.

 

[karlac]

Youngest, second time on the range. Using, once mine now her's, Buck Mark. Glad to see it passed on.

I'd expect 800-1200 maybe more if I only use it hunting. It's flat out devastating on varmints. Those 90gr bergers are some little lasers and even got a better bc than the ever so popular 6mm 105gr hybrids.

Why would hunting vs target shooting make a difference in barrel life if round count is the same?
