the little bullets that could. - oxn316 - 03-23-2015
Shot my first match of the year today. I decided to shoot the grendel and give the 260 a break. The match consisted of 3 shooting positions and 4 targets at each position. 10 pts first round hit. 5 for Second round hit and 2 for the third round. 3 shots to try to hit each target. Distance is anywhere from 160 yards to 600 yards. I was able to shoot a 115 out of possible 120. Almost perfect for all first round hits. Wind was gusting between 10-15mph. Can't believe it shot so well in the wind. Sorry had to share I am super stoked.

Cool ox. I wish we had some sort of matches closer to me. My cousin and I are discussing the possibility of doing one of lr52's classes just to try it out and learn from some pros as well

The rifle is an AA button rifled barrel at 24".(one of the early production ones.) AA grendel lower with a rock river 2 national match trigger. My load is a 123 amax over cfe in Hornady case. My load is over book max so I won't share that. My scope is a pst viper in 2.5x10x44
