D.R.D. Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Who here is getting sub MOA (preferably 0.5 MOA or less) at 100 yards with a .308AR? Is anyone doing it with factory loaded ammo? If so, which brand/load? What are your barrel specs? (Length, twist, gas system length, rifling, fluted or not, chamber type. barrel material, brand) Cheers, DRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.R.D. Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Bubba, what's the contour on your barrel? Great stats guys! Now, what's the furthest you've taken it out, and how's accuracy been at your longest distances with those loads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 ^^^ He has issues. <lmao> Only 1 is his, and the rest belong to Char... :banana: My Fulton/Criterion 18.5" stainless MW contour rifle gas barrel does it, all day long, with minimal effort from the trigger puller. The Rainier stainless 18' Select does it, too, on mid-gas. I haven't accuracy tested the Faxon Firearms 16" mid-gas yet, but it'll get tried out for groups. I don't think it'll be over MOA, based on the initial shooting of it. Another damn good barrel. The Fulton/Criterion and Faxon barrels are 1:10" twist, and the Rainier is 1:11.25" twist.

N Jensen Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I shot this 10 shot group at 300yds with a LR 6.5 with iron sights. The picture isn't the best as I took it looking through my spotting scope. It was during a 800 point agg match, timed fire 70 sec time limit. There was shot a little high out of the group right on the line, just wished I had it more centered up in the x-ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I don't like using 3-shot groups for judging either skill, or rifle mechanical accuracy - more for the rifle mechanical accuracy, through. With only 3 shots, you haven't heat cycled the barrel yet, the gas system isn't up to temp, etc. Jensen, that 10-shot @300 is DAMN SWEET! I will use a 3-shot group to zero a scope or iron sights, all day long. Take the center of the 3, make the move, recheck. Repeat until perceived as perfect. Shoot 10, confirm zero. <thumbsup> Edited July 18, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Nice shooting Jensen , I would have expected no less from your experience . <thumbsup> I will shoot three shot groups for load testing to fine tune charge weight , but mostly shoot five shots for accuracy testing . I have been doing load testing for years now & can't wait to just go out & shoot a confirmed loading <laughs> . I'm no match shooter & not trying to be . <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
