March 2019 rimfire 10 shot challenge

Not open for further replies.
The ground is finally dry, so got another crack at this. Shot a 6x and got too excited, ended up dropping 2 points for a 98, DOH!
Anyway, a couple 99s later I cracked this, it ain't pretty, but I read it as 100-5x. The lower RH shot breaks the line if I push a 22 slug through it.
Not a very convincing win but I did shoot through my last box of ammo so game over!

Also shot a 67 in C3 over irons, my eyes really aint up to it and I think I'm already beat there.

I had given up on this as it's being a wet, sloppy spring so far, but I see it's extended into April. I'll have to give 1,2,3 a whirl.

Shooters also note, I have an April-May centerfire challenge posted, pending sticky. It's floating around the bottom of the feed currently.

Can we get closer pics of the targets?

Class 2
73-1X
Marlin .22 LR 925
Blazer .22 LR 40gr round nose
Shot it on 3/30/19

Scope is Barska 3-9x40 Huntmaster. Pretty much the cheapest scope money can buy! That I could find at the time anyway. The bipod doesn't help much when standing. Pretty sure I scored it correctly, that shot that is basically in the seven ring did, just barely, break the line to eight. I think that is supposed to be scored as an eight, but I won't be offended if you tell me I scored it wrong.

.22 ammo is as cheap as it has been in a LONG time. 2020 is right around the corner.
Stack it high and stack it deep.

Nothing is cheap down here man. The cheapest 500rds brick is about $70. Winchester bricks are about $120-130.
 
Where are you shopping? That is a ridiculous price these days!

If nothing else, get yourself a shipment from PSA or Target Sports USA! Man, prices like that would make me not want to shoot...
 
Nope. The sociialst democratic colony known as New Zealand.

Everything is expensive. Diesel is 1.52 a litre (5.70/gal) Petrol is over $2/lt.
We pay more for our own meat second cuts that they pay for our prime cuts overseas.

Importing ammo? Fuggeddaboutit.
 
Never heard of handloading RF, I'll have to look into it. Certainly never seen any kits for sale.
Got some 40gn pills for the 223 but no point spending three times as much for same ballistics.
 
Higher resolution pictures attached.

Hum. These were 2048x pictures, seem to have scaled down to 900 on the forum. I can upload as pdf or whatever if required but this is starting to become too much like a hassle.

Good to know, I'll have to search for that.

Op, maybe more extension? Call it the Spring Challenge? Ends June 21st.

Your call. I had fun. I have another Winchester to add to the mix for Class 1.

Look at the 9 ring shot at 5 o'clock.
I'd personally call it a 9.
Your match, your call though.

I've got to get a couple guns out on Friday.

Yeah that was the one I was iffy about. Laying it over an unshot target shows it a bit clearer, it breaks the line. Just.

Let me know if you get close and I'll have to try and one-up ya :p ;)
