Thought you guys might like to see some video from last weekend. I attended an Appleseed "intro to long range" KD shoot in Southern IN. I'm having a blast at these KD (known distance) shoots and have learned a lot about my equipment and how to sling up, hit the ground and put rounds on a target quickly.
I've shot out to 400 yards and scored Rifleman twice but that was with a 20" AR and heavy 75 gr PRVI. This time I switched guns to a M4C style gun using off the shelf cheap Walmart XM855.
Gun specs:
Noveske N4 upper/lower with a Colt 14.5" barrel, Battlecomp 1.5 pinned & welded.
Geisele SDE trigger
Spikes buffer
Magpull furniture
Trijicon TA31ECOS ACOG w/ BDC reticle calibrated in Meters using XM855 out of 14.5" barel.
Federal XM855 5.56mm Walmart ammo
We started out verifying zero at 25 yards, not something I normally do with this gun. That's what the RMR sight is for. I couldn't group for crap at this range for some reason. 2-4" terrible groups. This had me worried if I had made a bad choice bringing this gun.
Off to the 100 yard firing line for sighters then the 1st stage of an AQT. We did this all the way back to 500 yards making good sighter hits, recording come ups then shooting for score on the AQT. I only had to adjust the turrets once at 200 yards. My barrel, load, BDC combo was working really well. I scored Rifleman again putting 37 / 40 in the black. :cool:
I wanted more time at 500 but they had a surprise for us... steel targets set out at various known distances between 100-400 yards.
Enough with this aar, on to video. I shoot and post my videos in the raw "old school" style. enjoy!

And here's what a rifleman can do. A buddy who had worked the pit all day came out for some fun. He has never shot my gun before and was clanging steel all over the field.
