- 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!

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?
Not a centerfire and it's not pushing any bullets as big as 69 grains.
Otherwise perfect :chuckle:

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.

None of my 22 center fires shoot that heavy of a bullet my main gun shoots a 52 grain amax that would be my suggestion no bullet weight restriction
:yeah:
I got a 204 that would be my go to if it would be eligible.

Why a bullet weight requirement? Does it really effect a persons ability to group 10 shots at 300 yards? I would love to participate, but don't shoot that heavy a bullet out of either my .223 or .22-250. Any chance we can remove that requirement?There's a range in your velocity, where the shooting/groups open up linearly over the range. So, a 1/4" group at 50 yds will be 1/2" at 100 yds will be 1" at 200 yds, etc. It will eventually get to a point where the bullet has slowed down enough that it is underspun and the groups open up non-linearly. So, you go from 1/4 (50), 1/2 (100), 1 (200), 1 1/4 (250) then jump to something like 3 inches at 300 (or whatever the distance is where your velocity drops). Most easily seen with the longer, narrow bullets (usually the heavier ones).

I might be up for this challenge, I have an AR I had my navy vet coworker put together, he's a machinest. I did all the parts research and he worked his magic. It shoots 3/8 groups at 200 meters if you can do your part. And that's with 50 grain vmax, hunting ammo by Fioochi. I generally do real good till the last shot then fling one wild to minute of coyote. Lol. I have some 69 grain federal match ammo, might be a good thing to try it out on.That's beyond amazing! That's under quarter minute from an AR! Can't wait to see what you can do at 300!

What's twist is the barrel? Generally if a barrel shoots 50gr. bullets well, it won't shoot 69 gr or heavier well.

Not really. In fact, all of my fast twist barrels also shoot 50gr varmint bullets well. In my 1:8 twist 16" barrel, the 50gr stuff is generally the easiest to find good loads for, but it also shoots 75 & 77gr well.
The "light bullets don't shoot well in fast twists" idea is just a holdover from back when bullets were less concentric and consistent than they are now. With good modern bullets, it's not really true anymore, in my experience.

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. :tup:
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! :chuckle:
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.

Finally got my rifle together enough to go to the range, she's still rocking the PSA trigger that comes in a Lower Parts Kit. CMC trigger should be here Monday or Tuesday, had just enough light to get her on paper and shoot a couple quick groups at 100 yds. I didn't have enough time to shoot the 62gr bullets but she likes the 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Which is handy because my 1:10" barrelled 22-250 likes those too. More to come soon!

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.

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.

I Can only imagine the group the Jon would have printed if he had kept his mustache!
Wow. I can't even imagine.

Do you actually call him "the Jon?" That may have been a typo but I'm forced to wonder.

Oh no that's what he's called. "The Jon" isn't any typo. :chuckle: and it doesn't refer to a toilet either.I Can only imagine the group the Jon would have printed if he had kept his mustache!

Seriously the Jon's group would of at least been half that if he still had the stash if not maybe even better!!

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.
Good shooting, especially with a 1-12" twist! Since you're the only one to post up a group, you're in first place so far. Now get sighted in with a better hunting bullet and you're good to go. Everyone knows you can't kill anything with Bergers. :chuckle:

If I were to post a group, I would be in 2nd place...... and it wouldn't be all that close.

Holes look pretty round too.

Pretty impressive shooting heavies with a 1:12 in cold weather to boot 👍🏻👍🏻

It's a bumblebee load. All the books say it won't stabilize but this one does...and he bumblebee flies despite the "laws" of physics.

Have you measured the twist? I have a rem that's supposed to be a 9 1/8 twist that is 8 1/2
I did but just with a patch on a rod. It's definitely right around 12". Unless Interarms had some funky batch back in the day

It's a spin off from this thread.
http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,205241.msg2753036/topicseen.html#new
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.
I will be using a 68 gr because I already have some of those loaded.
Setup:
3-9 scope
16" barrel with 1-9 twist
68gr only going 2416 fps (supposed to be 2800 fps in a 24" barrel)
About as much energy as my muzzle loader has at 100 yds. I usually like to keep it close to 800 ftlbs on deer when using a modern firearm, so that would limit me to 100 yds.
I probably could build up a better deer round, but its 2 hrs one way to the store and 2 hrs one way the opposite direction to the range for testing.
