[thinkingman]

I have a box of HSM 90gr VLD ammo I someone want to really reach out there.
50 rods.
Make a reasonable offer.

bump.... for updated pics. Did a home camo job, used Brownells Alumahyde. Also installed a CMC 3.5 lb single stage trigger. Ready to go hunting!

Looks good but how's it shoot

[Jonathan_S]

When it clears up, I'll shoot some groups and post some gloat pictures. Somehow I think I can squeeze them all into a paper plate.

Anyone gonna build an eargosplitten loudenboomer for this?

I'm looking into it right now. I have a pile of 338 SnipeTac cases just waiting to get necked down.

Since this whole thing as take off a bit more than I expected, I suppose it should be opened up to all .22 center fires. How about if everyone just give the specs on the load they used to shoot the group so that we can distinguish between the light weight loads and the heavy bullet loads? The 69+ grain bullet weight was a carry over from the other thread but if everybody agrees on leaving it open to all weights I'm fine with that. Hey JJB11B, maybe you should start a poll!

My other thought is to make this a monthly contest. Every month can be a different bore diameter. This keeps it fair for folks who only have a couple of guns or just don't have a .22 center fire. It also keeps one guy from running a 6 PPC in a heavy BR rig and just dominating every months contest! Let me know what everyone thinks.

If it's open to bolt actions and lighter bullets I would like to participate. All my .22 centerfire cartridges are loaded with 45, 52 and 55 gr bullets for varmint shooting. The .22 rimfire competition sounds like fun too.

I wish I had a scope on my ar!

Iron sights are sufficient if you know how to adjust for yardage and wind-age.

For printing sub MOA groups at 300?

All I have is a 4 moa red dot on it. May not make it too easy to hit a paper plate at 300.

So pull a good scope off one of the other rifles and site it in

But... but... but... then I'd have to play with a gas gun!

Here's my entry. For @yorketransport and @ JDHasty.

The weapon: .22-250 Interarms, 24" barrel 1-12" twist (pretty sure)
The distance: 304 yards, shooting off a plastic table with a bipod.
The projectile: 73 grain Berger target (thicker jacket)

So it took me all of three loads before I found one that shot sub MOA at 100 yards. Minus the flyer, it would have been MOA at 300. These are cooking plenty fast. I might have to take this rig deer hunting in Idaho this fall.

Amazing shooting.

I Can only imagine the group the Jon would have printed if he had kept his mustache!
