View Thread : first groups with some new loads (pics)


happyfast79
so i got some new bullets to try, the 1o8 scenars and the 123 amax and used tac and benchmark to work up some loads and tac was grouping better. i made 5 rounds of each load and these were the best loads . i was shooting off a rickety mobile shooting bench down hill so my sand bags had to be stacked so i think i can tighten thes up shooting prone with a bipod and sandbag. these wre out of a 24" ar @ 100 yards

Hey Nikolai,

That's very good shooting for sure even with distant shot. They'd all do the job, that's for sure!
