range targets part 2!

[DNP]

You'll be kicking ass at 800 meters in no time! Nice work.

[Cali_Ed]

Thanks guys, the more I shoot the more I can catch my errors before I pull the trigger. I feel I can do better with a shorter bipod.

Oh yeah this was off a bipod not bag

I'll have to measure some of these and see what they come out to

So I got some measurements.

For the 178amax with 39.9

I got .689 and with flyer I got 1.099

For the 175 match with 42Gn I got

.775 and with flyer .829

For 175 with 42.5 iI got .916 /1.382

For 175 with 44gn I got .693 /1.029

How does that translate to moa? Is there a formula?

I know 1 moa= 1.047

Am I supposed to subtract the bullet diameter like 308 from the measurement?

Plug it into this:

Flyers count, by the way.  You've got one per group, and that's just how you're shooting.

I know I show both measurements with flyer and with out

  Good shooting .

[planeflyer21]

The 39.9gr and 44gr loads are looking good...great shooting Ed!

[.308LiteHunter]

Looking good brother!

[Cali_Ed]

Thanks guys,

So I downloaded that program and it wouldn't let me save the images to anything I could open on my computer (.tgx <--- what opens that kind of file?)

Ok so here's the verdict on those pics I posted info of sorry for the crappy cell pics

[.308LiteHunter]

Looks like you figured it out.

Refresh me on your barrel length. 1-10 twist?

[Cali_Ed]

22" barrel and 1-11.25 twist

[Cali_Ed]

Here are some targets from today, about 65° and 15 - 17mph winds.

All with 178amax and some diffent powder

[unforgiven]

Nice shooting brother.I am a fan of shoot and see targets.Still in the fifties here.

[Cali_Ed]

I tried shooting 300 yards today and it was so damn windy I had a lousy day. Goes to show how much I still need to learn. I even stapled a ribbon to the bottom of the wooden target holder to help gauge the wind. Either it was super windy at the target ir it was super windy where I was set up. Super frustrating

[98Z5V]

Be pretty weird to have a major wind change between 0~300, man.  Read up on wind corrections. <thumbsup>

 

I hope my PROFESSIONAL Canadian Gunsmiter Friend sees this - he probably has all the answers.

Fook Canada that's some damn Fine shootin at 300 yds Ed!

[Cali_Ed]

I wish brother sketch those were loads I tested at 100. Maybe I was having other issues then? There was mirage like crazy and for the first time ever I had a double tap on my rifle that's why on the bottom left picture there are only three rounds

[Cali_Ed]

[Cali_Ed]

Got some pistol practice in

[Rsquared]

Damn Ed! I think you got it. <laughs>

[sketch]

That's damn good at 50yds! ;)

[Cali_Ed]

Here's a picture of two targets I shot with my glock 17 with dawson/warren sights at 15 yards.

Landed 22 of 24 shots

Ecen though my previous target was at 7 yards with diffent sights would this new grouping be worse or does it open up that much more at 15 yards compare to 7

I'd say yes even at seven yds you need a steady hand, but hell at 15 yds with new sights not bad Ed !

[Cali_Ed]

I'll have to practice more for my match next weekend. If my trigger didn't have so much creep in that Initial shot it would be nice
