"Quarter" Minute of Angle

Yes. I lost mine but that was a test at a sniper instructor school I attended years ago. We did it with 308s. I assume a 556 will just make a smaller hole.

The wife wasn't interested in a shot penny pendant on a chain so it went away.

A bit chilly at 23 degrees this morning with no wind.
Installed an H3 buffer which functioned fine.
Got to test out the battery assist lever from Tactical Link and am very pleased.
Used my brass catcher that I use for Bullseye pistol placed at 4 o'clock position and caught them all.
Looks to be my best target so far except for the #4 quarter I could feel that I eased up on the preload of the bipod just as the round went off.

Also glad that I kept the adjustable carbine stock instead of going with a fixed rifle stock cause I needed to collapse it one position to accommodate the extra clothing I was wearing to keep my head position on the stock in its proper place.

Precision shooters need to try this target.
It is not easy but very gratifying when you do everything right.

Another excellent run, with 9 out of 10 hits! Overlaying all ten of your quarters produces a 10-shot group with an extreme spread of 0.88" and a mean radius of 0.27".

I am going to try again... I have found ( I think ) that if I sort the Fed. Tipped Varmint 50gr by weight groups do appear to tighten up. I seem to have more up and down "errors" then lateral after sorting by overall weight.

I realize this could be Voodoo ballistics... but I gives me hope

I could be wrong... but after shooting numerous "same" weight 10 shot groups v. un-weighed / random 10 shot groups... the weighed groups are tighter.

One typical target of 3 tried....( all the same lot # )

Groups at Bullseye left and right, 8:00 and 12:00 ( can't quite see it all, my fault ) are weighed.

The 6:00 5 shot group is weighed

All others are random from the ammo can.
