Till today I haven't shot much farther then 150 yards with it. Tonight I set 3 milk jugs out at I'm guessing 650 yards or so. I don't have a range finder so it took me a few rounds to ge t the elevation figured out. Once I figured that out and hit the first jug I got the next 2 on the first shot. So I set a couple 12 ounce water bottles out there and took 3 shots to hit the first. The second one I got on the first shot. I absolutely love this gun! I have a nightforce with a velocity 1000 reticle and with a 100 zero I'm used the 700 yard line to hit the bottles and jugs.

JP makes a fine rifle for sure. Was just shooing one and having kids shoot one this past week. No recoil at all.
Great looking rig. JP + AR15 + 6.5 Grendel is a beautiful collision of win.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

I built an 18" .223 Wylde AR15 for a friend, complete with JP barrel, the adjustable gas, Cooley Brake, vent fins, etc., and it doesn't move. His kids and nephews love shooting it.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

I too have a JP 22" barrel, just haven't found the right bullet/powder combo. what are you guys shooting, or having luck with? tried some of JP's loading recommendations with no luck. Didn't moly any of the bullets as JP does, might be looking at trying that. Really wanting a 100gr round for most everything, have a 95gr Vmax load that does pretty good. Got fed up with the load development and have put it on hold for now.
Welcome aboard M60, nice rig!!

But my JP shoots almost everything I've tried in it pretty well. The only thing that I haven't gotten sub-MOA groups with are 120g Barnes TTSX (Precision Firearms loads).

M60gov20, LOVE LOVE LOVE your JP rifle! My JP Grendel is very similar to yours, apart from mine has the RC handguards and a red thermal dissipator. If you intend on doing any hunting with your rifle, as a heads up my JP shoots the tightest with AA loaded 120gr TSX's so you may want to take a look at that load. Devastating on game. Are you running a JP silent capture spring as well?John 11:25-26
