Last year I had a goal for shooting consistent sub MOA groups at 300 yards and shared some of that adventure here on AGN.
I joined our local range so that I could take advantage of shooting off a rock solid bench and have better wind conditions vs the mountain conditions and my portable bench I'd been used too.
It worked out well for me and I was able to return to the range earlier this year and picked up where I left off. I shot 10 groups of 5 and had only 3 out of the 50 shots blown out of MOA. Mission accomplished.
The next thing I wanted was a sub MOA group at 400 yards to hang next to my work bench. Unfortunately that meant going back up to mountains and using my less than rock solid portable bench.
I did find a much better location than shooting across the drainage I used before at 400+. I knew it would be possible at the new location but still be extremely difficult with a 28 grain slug covering that much distance. So I did a quick session one evening with plans of returning early the next day to get to the serious work.
Long story short is I got my group and discovered I've gotten my Impact to be about as consistent MOA as the conditions will allow, well past 400 yards. Tested week after week for a couple months now.
Of course Shoot and See's can be manipulated so I knew that wouldn't fly.
This one doesn't count because its only 4 shots. Lost count.
And some non cherry picked but under good conditions. Of course there are plenty of shotgun patterns as the winds kick in like on the left (or worse), but those aren't as fun to look at.
Some "score" shooting.
Dropped another 5 in there just cause.
I've read that rimfire still holds the crown at close range 50/100 yard stuff but I can not find anything where any rimfires are doing this at ELR. Maybe I missed something?
