QUOTE;Just remember you have to shoot like a MAN , no benchresting

QUOTE;Again I ask, anyone know where I can find some steel cased 7.5x55 Swiss?

nope,but it would not be as nearly accurate as GP11 or Prvi if there was,at least my experience with bargain brand wolf or barnal ammo.


I have come to the conclusion that bargain Wolf and Barnal are good for suppression fire that's about it.Other than that accuracy is dismal compared to better made ammo.


AR-15 will rule this challenge.

 

[R.W.Dale]

can we mark our targets? Like putting a dot in the center?

certianlly just as long as the overall size and shape of the plate is unaltered

Again I ask, anyone know where I can find some steel cased 7.5x55 Swiss?

As far as I know there is no such ammo

 

[Jason_G]

Slings or no?

Also, are we to measure from center of hole to center of hole, or from outer edge to outer edge?

CTC would be more fair, because people shooting smaller calibers wouldn't have an advantage.

 

[Bartkowski]

Alright, well I am going to go out tommorow...I will shoot my LMT and maybe my mosin, like I said, no rifle pics, just targets. If I don't "qualify" for the thread thats fine, it will be a fun challenge though.

 

[anymanusa]

I thought that I was going to dominate this with my dpms 308 and my wolf 1-1.5" groups,... then I saw "iron sights only".

 

[Deer Hunter]

I'm in. I'll shoot a group maybe in the next week.

 

[RonE]

Count me in....will post target in the next couple of weeks.

 

[R.W.Dale]

anyone gonna submit any targets?

 

[anymanusa]

I'd like to, but I have to get my guns straight first. When is the deadline again?

I might go shooting next weekend. I did this weekend, but the results were, ...not pretty.

 

[dsdanger]

Great contest idea! Didn't draw a deer tag this year, so this will give me something to do this week. Will post results pre-TGday.

 

[BigBuckMaster]

i am in. lemme get some ammo...

 

[R.W.Dale]

is anyone actually gonna submit a target?

 

[BigBuckMaster]

let me just figure out how to use the scanner at my office...

 

[lionking]

I'd like to enter the contest but the fact is the only guns I am willing to shoot steel cased ammo through are AK or Mosin.AK's won't even group into a paper plate size at 100yds with steel cased ammo and the Mosin will group "alright" with steel cased ammo.

I refuse to shoot steel cased ammo in a AR or Garand or otherwise relic.

 

[longdayjake]

can I use the bayonet on my sks as a monopod when shooting prone? Are bipods allowed in prone?

Why not! anything to get more submissions than I currently have

 

[PBinWA]

I'm in. I just found this place as I was googling around prior to going to the range.

I've got a new DPMS Sportical some cheap Wolf Ammo and hopefully I won't be disqualified for using a blue styrofoam plate (It was that or a Disney Princess plate).

Assuming I can hit anything at 100 yards, I'll try to remember to post my results tomorrow.

 

[PBinWA]

Well I suck . . . errr . . . at least with my new cheap gun and cheap ammo. I was awesome with my 300 Win Mag but the AR was way off.

I used up all my ammo getting sighted in and never could get it consistent at 100 yards. I need to get back to the range and bring more ammo next time. I never had great expectations for this gun but it does give me something more to play with and they are fun to shoot.

 

[longdayjake]

I tried and was unsuccessful. I forgot to bring a way to attach the plates to a target. I ended up just trying to prop them against something at the range. Didn't work so well. Tell me again why it couldn't have just been a regular target?

 

[R.W.Dale]

This match is now over

Well looks like through the overwhelming participation in this match I've won by default.


I'm disappointed, I was going to do a all inclusive centerfire iron sight match but since everyone is ashamed to post their targets I ain't gonna bother with another match.
