.22 Center fire 300 yard group challenge
« on: January 02, 2017, 08:27:10 PM »
Title pretty much says it all. Lets get some basic rules set in so we're all on the same page. Here's what I have so far:

- Any center fire .22 rifle is eligible
- Must use a bullet of at least 69gr
- Target must be no larger than 10"
- 10 shots fired, no time constraints
- Video or credible witnesses if possible
- Range must be at least 300 yards

Bonus points for the following:
- Using a semi auto (bonus, bonus points for using an AR ;))
- Moving targets
- Rapid fire
- Groups under .5 MOA

If there's any adjustment you want to see, just let me know. I don't have a center fire 22 right now so I'm out on this one at the moment.

Let the games begin!

Why a min. of 69gr, most 22 cal centerfires use a lighter bullet.  Or is this just for the fast twist aficionados.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I though this would be fun enough to warrant its own thread befor the other one gets derailed even more!  :chuckle:

Feel free to jump in with whatever you've got though. I may do it with a 68gr bullet from my 6mm BR pistol just to play along.

What about a .22mag with a fixed 4x scope?
The best equipment in the world is useless to the idiot who doesn't understand it.

Not a centerfire and it's not pushing any bullets as big as 69 grains.

Otherwise perfect  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I say go for it just because I want to see how well you do. Go all out though and try for rapid fire on movers! :tup:

No, we make fun of you for being that kid in class that throws the grading curve.  >:( :chuckle:

Nice! I'll come up with an official "2017 300 yard challenge" sticker for the winner and put their name on it.

I got a 6mm that would do quite well in this event.  Only thing is the barrel isn't screwed on the action.  Not quite sure where the action wrench is also.   I shot BR before moving to the dry side.
