Benchrest 100yd 5x5 Challenge Inspired by Franklink

[Billm]

Its a possibility your just supposed to snug the nut but if its against the sleeve and not the barrel it would account for the circular motion. I got this from strelok it a 1.3” target gun zeroed at 100 and the red lines are for a 2-5-10 mph hold off.

Yeah, I agree the wind drift is a definite factor. It’s not a consistent wind speed. Are you referring to the liner? I’ll take a look.

Wanted to test my silencers for accuracy today and as it was a bit breezer today than it has been i decided to shoot @75 yds besides it always an ego boost when you shoot little groups on a windy day. It also shows how much a pellet slows and drops in that last 25 yds. That top ctr shot was holding for a 100 on middle target! 4 1/2” drop from 75-100

We should be seeing much more 100 yard fun soon.

I think the average shooter get too exasperated trying 100

You’re probable right. Maybe we should change to 50 yards

 

[Solo1]

You don’t win big bucks at 50!

I managed 1 card just before dark, Average 1.18 not much wind to speak of. By the time things started to come together it was too late for another set.

Nice!! I was shooting some 52.2 grain AEA’s today out to 300 yards. Shot a good group at 200 yards with a 8 to 14 mph cross wind.

Thanks, do you regularly shoot out to those distances? I have just over 150y set up for when I’m ready to try.

No I was working on getting a good slug for a 145 yard to 300 yard event at the Oregon Extreme Benchrest competition, that is one of the events I signed up for, but I do love shooting long range, it is a lot of fun, my buddy was shoot some 40 grain .22 caliber out to 200 and a few out to 300 hundred, he has a swedge (sp) and is making the Corbin slugs, he was running them at 995 fps, I had my 52.2 running at 959. This was a 75-shot string

Got out for some shooting tonight and ended with the 100Y 5x5 challenge. Basically no wind and I am pretty happy with the results for pellets (.22 Mrds)! The final group the was juuuuust falling off the regulator but it actually was the best group by a long shot go figure.
I sent a 6th shot as it thought my 5th missed (i heard it zing off the top of my pellet trap) and it opened up the group.
Worst group (first) was just under 2 inches, best was 5/8 of an inch!!
Zeroed for 50Y, and i held 2.5 mils over.
Also a shout out to @Solo1 , the parralax on my scope seems better now, I dialed the eye piece (Helix gen 2 has ALOT of ocular adjustment) all the way in and the parralax is accurate, at least at 100y, Got dark and i was outta air at that point but im glad, as I use that for pesting shots as my range finder!
