Best target--picture thread

[sharkman]

Three rounds of Federal .308 168 gr Gold Medal Sierra Match King, from Fulton Armory M1A, with Burris XTR scope, at 100 yards. No bipod, used a sandbag. Quit after three, figured it was good enough!

 

[RKRCPA]

41 Mag 250gr WFNGC at 25 yds


Ruger Bisley with Vortex Venom

 

[sharkman]

Same day, same rifle. 3 rounds of Remington Premier Match .308 168 gr Matchking BTHP

 

[sharkman]

Didn’t like the PPU MatchLine though

If I discount the flier (which I'm absolutely doing), I'm pretty proud of this one. Mostly because I'm not a steady hand when it comes to firearms, so I rarely see performance like this even with more mild cartridges.



This is a 12" Dirty Bird Bull's-Eye Target. The 5 shot grouping is just a hair under 2". (With the flier it's around 5.5", which is why I don't want to count it. Don't make me count it. )

Shot at 25 yards, two-handed off-hand, from a Ruger Super Blackhawk (Bisley conversion) in .44 Mag, with a 4-5/8" barrel. Load was a 240gr coated LSWC over 20.0gr of A2400.

100 yards with some 5.56 loads I was working up. Be sure to check out the barrels of the pistols the bad guys are pointing with

Still learning the art of reloading. Remington R1 9mm, 5 rounds @ 10 yards off hand. Think I found the right load.

It looks like you stopped an extraterrestrial scouting crew in its tracks.

These are my best ones. Can bang away at them all day at any distance and never have to walk down to reset them.

 

[Rollis R. Karvellis]

Remington 700 VLS .308 Winchester.
Winchester case
IMR 4064 42.0 GN
168 GN HPBT Sierra
Federal GMM Primer

200 yards, prone, bipod.

 

[Rollis R. Karvellis]

Remington 700 .300 RUM slightly modified.
I am in the process of developing a 2,000 yard load.
Then all I have to do is learn to shoot out to 2,000 yards.

175 gn Nosler Custom Competition.
Nosler .300 RUM case.
IMR 4350 80 grn.
Fed 215 LRM.

I am up to 99 rounds through this new barrel, I am cautiously optimistic.

 

[Skgreen]

5 shots @ 100 yds. Bench/bags.
68 gr Hornady BTHP Match over 24.7 Varget
Savage 12 .223

[DDDWho]

Very first 3 rounds from my brand new (at the time) Remington 1911R1S at a measured 30 yards (60 feet). The one lower left musta been a flyer.

 

[rpenmanparker]

Up until this week my avatar was my best result, 25 rounds at 7 yd (laser verified) with a Ruger SR1911 9mm Commander. Then I did these two. Same gun. The first one is 20 rounds at 7 yd. The second one is the same target with 20 more rounds on top of the first 20 but at 11 yd.

Man some of these groups are impressive

^^^XDm 4.5 9mm cheapie factory loads 7 yards top is rapid fire and lower is slower fire. I'm happy


^^^Working up (1st attempt) load for new rifle...getting there. I really want to focus on my body mechanics and fundamentals but so far I am happy. I'd really like to see .5moa and if I excluded my, "flier" I would have been at .552moa but that's cheating lol. This was with 3031 (charge in upper corner) with Federal brass and Winchester primer and Hornady 168gr hpbt. I have a lot to learn but this gives me hope that if I really do my part and am diligent with my reloading I should have no problem with repeatable .5moa. Rifle is 20inch SS PA-10 with diamondback scope and light single stage trigger from bench and a rear bag medium fire rate.

One of my better efforts in the last few months, a magazine full out of my pre B CZ85 at 7 yards. I like the 2" orange dots, it gives good contrast in the gap with the black sights. Now if I can get rid of the stragglers that wander off the dot.

Low shots tend to be "pushes" as the trigger is jerked, but these are still pretty good. A "perp" wouldn't know the difference.

I have some sub-minute of angle groups at 100 yard using a variety of center-fire rifles but one of my favorite is a shotgun target.



410 2.5-inch Remington Sluggers fired from my Winchester 9410 lever-action shotgun. I bought the gun to rabbit and squirrel hunt with but after shooting the group pictured above I end up using it as my deer slug-gun for the several years until I moved out of Ohio.

 

[Walkalong]

7 rounds at 7 yards standing two hands. I only had two staples in the target, top middle, bottom middle. On the fourth or fifth shot the wind blew the target over and the shot went the the left side from the rear and through the group. I stopped, added a staple on the left side, and then finished the group. No one believes me, but I was there, and I know what happened. N320 and a Berrys 185 Gr SWC.

 

[Walkalong]

I came close with this one not too long ago, the one hanging out is the last shot, I felt myself pull it.

 

[Trey Veston]

My Glock G29 with a Lone Wolf .40 S&W conversion barrel. Recipe is on the target. This is at 25yds with a rest.



Same pistol with the stock barrel at 25yds...

 

[Trey Veston]

My XDS 40 will do under 2" at 25yds all day long with cheap ammo. It amazes me how accurate it is for a sub-compact...

 

[Rembrandt]

While this may look like a unimpressive grouping, it's much harder to obtain than you might think. 44 magnum Desert Eagle (14") barrel hand held at 200 yards. Distinction between the upper and lower part of the target is difference in powder loads.

This was 50 rounds, full auto burst with an HK MP5

 

[CptnAwesome]

Both targets are 3 shot groups from Weatherby Vanguard S2's at 100yds, my handloads.

Orange target is .257 Wby with 117gr Sierra GameKings.

Red target is 300 Wby with 180gr ProHunters.

 

[Steel Hayes]

Pietta 1851 5” @20 yards

 

[Picher]

Not sure if this is actually my best, but it’s the first 15 rounds out of my brand spanking new S&W model 637-2 at 10 yards.

I seem to shoot revolvers better than most semi-auto centerfires. S&W centerfire revolver (S.A.) triggers are often really great!
