D.R.D. Posted June 30, 2015 Report 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
bubbasks Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Yes. Jp bolt,22" citerion 1/12.rifle length.

survivalshop Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 My 20" , rifle gas system ,S/S Criterion HB , 1-10 twist , no Flutes , has a habit of making one hole groups ( when I do my part ) , but I don't use Factory ammo.
D.R.D. Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report 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?
washguy Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 3 16" rainier selects all sub moa 1 18" rainer select sub moa 2 16" arp fullfluted twist 5r rifling on Nexgen all sub performance.... 1 !6" arp lightweight hunter sub perfromance all shoot the privi 168 match to get sub moa but surprise the 150 grain does it too,,,,crap cant remember what brand it was :) Wash
sketch Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Can you see sub moa or do you sit when you pee! :) Micro! R I P
EasyEJL Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 If I lock mine into a rest with a 20" rainier select, I can get sub moa. by hand I can't :D
washguy Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Wash, you have 7 ARs in .308?! DRD I miss counted ...I forgot I sold one last month...so I have 6 308 ar's not 7....ooops sorry...got rid of a Mega build with vortex pst Ha :) Wash
98Z5V Posted July 2, 2015 Report 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.
washguy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 ^^^ He has issues. <lmao> Only 1 is his, and the rest belong to Char... :banana: HaHaha You are so wrong on that !,,,,,,they are all Char's <laughs> she had me sell my one and only.... :eek7: And the four 6.8s' cant confirm whether they are mine or not....so there! she does let me buy the ammo and even lets me clean them :) Wash
98Z5V Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 And the four 6.8s' cant confirm whether they are mine or not....so there! So, you, Char, and the 4 x 6.8s need to get on Maury, and we need to get this $hit settled with some DNA testing... <lmao>
washguy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) So, you, Char, and the 4 x 6.8s need to get on Maury, and we need to get this $hit settled with some DNA testing... <lmao> We got the DNA all over the bedroom bout 2 hrs ago.....send in the clean up crew...by now they might need putty knives <lmao> Oh snap...you mean the DNA off the rifles ?

D.R.D. Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Posted July 2, 2015 Lovely. TMI. :-) So how far have taken them out with repeatable accuracy?
washguy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Lovely. TMI. :-) So how far have taken them out with repeatable accuracy? DRD Repeatable accuracy to 400...moa or better...at 500 I get a lil sketchy.... the gun guru there shoots all of mine at 500 moa or better :) Wash
Rsquared Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 you have 7 ARs in .308?! He says that as if it's a bad thing. <laughs>
N Jensen Posted July 18, 2015 Report 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.
98Z5V Posted July 18, 2015 Report 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
survivalshop Posted July 18, 2015 Report 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>
