    Thanks Molon;
    The target was not as good as the one you posted, but I did not think it was too bad for the first few rounds out of this build.
    Will give it another go in the next couple weeks.
    Then time to start gathering reloading supplies to roll my own.
    Have not come to a clear decision as far as powder and bullets.
    Bullets are not a problem to order on line, most likely SMK's.
    Powder will be up to what is available in my area.

    First off.... this is a dang sight harder to do then I "expected".... Lol

    The quarters are just dark enough for me and my cheaper scopes ... to make seeing where I hit difficult.

    No excuses being made... just commenting on some of the PITA aspects of shooting 10 "Bullseyes" in a row at 100yds.

    This target is an excellent way to hone your trigger skills and bench skills.

    A easy to grasp and use rear squeeze bag is mandatory.

    Hopefully .... if no one minds... I am going to see if I can find a more accurate ammo and keep trying...


    Ammo used for my attempts .... Fed. 50gr Tipped Varmint .223

    Rifle info for the first 10 quarters Target.... Certainly not the first try !! , This target #6 of 8 with this rifle.... the rest were ... decent, but, this was the best. DANG Fliers !!

    Colt Large Pin Lower... Geissele Hi-Speed National Match Large Pin, OEM Colt A2 stock, Tubbs CWS, PSA CHF 20 SS "Match barrel",1 in 7 Twist, Troy FF Tube, A2 Flash hider.
    Scope ... inexpensive 8-32x44 A/O Simmons, model #800116... I know , overkill... but I have had it for decades and finally put it on because it was "doin' nothin' " in its box.
    CrossTac Front Bag, and Harris 6-9" bipod, ( the Bipod produced better results ) , I don't remember what brand squeeze bag at the back about 4"x4"x2".... soon to be replaced.. ( To Fat )
    Concrete "Rock solid" bench.







    Ammo... Fed. Tipped Varmint 50gr

    Rifle Info...
    SanTan Lower, PRS stock, Ruger Elite 452 trigger, BCM complete upper w/ Ionbond Black 20" 410 SS, 1 in 8 twist, 15" KMR
    Primary Arms 4-14X44 FFP Scope, ACSS reticle ( that triangle really helps aim )
    Harris 6-9" bipod, mystery squeeze bag.
    Concrete "Rock solid" bench.

    Yes I realize there are 11 shots.... frankly, I couldn't tell if I had actually hit "Quarter 6" ( I thought I had put it in quarter 5 twice ) and took another shot... flubbed it on shot 7/ quarter 6 did have a hole ... So this is just me feeling better about myself.... Lol




    Molon....I do have a question for you regarding a more accurate ammo.

    I realize that no two barrels are alike... ever.. but the Fed. Tipped Varmint just isn't capable of less then 1 MOA....( as far as my ability goes )

    I can get "good for what it is" groups....( practice from the Quarter MOA day, ignore the shots above 10 inches, just trying some cheap 55gr FMJ )



    9 shoots...




    But since I can't seem to quite get under 1 MOA... I feel like another ammo is in order.

    Do you have suggestions ?

    Nosler CC 77gr seems promising.

    Lija AR Quarter MOA revisited

    Beautiful morning in Wisconsin for attempting this challenge.
    Learning about the new build such as, fire a single fouling shot after scrubbing the bore cause it will be about an inch low using the Norma match ammo
    Purchased some Norma match from Midway last week cause I got a birthday discount.
    Norma match shot a little better than the Winchester match from a couple weeks ago out of my Lija.

    Thanks Molon;

    Wanted to get out there today to try out the H3 buffer to see if it would function(H2 in it now with no problems).
    Dang honey-do list...
    Has anyone done anything to an ejector so you do not have to chase your brass.
    I could probably set up my net that I use for bullseye pistol.
    I only single load from a Bob-Sled.
