It varies by lot for me.

It is a day I go with instinct and flags. Best ammo I have at the time. I did some videos on my shooting air rifle in the wind. A couple rimfire as well. Here is a video of shooting 100-yards in the wind. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYnJpZ-CYpt_bqcsi=Y_uV4qt4_NxtxP6v

Fingers crossed!

Thanks

Thanks! I try to focus on ARA, USBR and I have picked up some older (green not red) IBS targets as well.

I have always wondered why these organizations don’t run an online monthly match, mainly for folks that don’t live in an area that actually holds matches. True you would have folks cheat, ara’s 2500 target, i wouldn’t allow an online target to be framed because of that, but there should be a way to run an online match. The cool part would be all the videos that would be made bringing awareness to the sport and maybe facilitate the forming of new clubs. Silly as it sounds it was Dales and and ASMS tv that got me interested and shooting matches in ara. I love it, found a great club and it’s my fav activity each month. But the state next door to me, utah, doesn’t have a single club running matches. If a lot of folks shooting cards started popping up online maybe it would help spread the word.

@@jefflayton5889 I live in Utah and for being a 2A state it sucks for shooting lol. Coming from Illinois which is very antigun I had more clubs and more places to shoot back home there than I do here. I hate this state. The reason for no online matches is there would as you say no way to keep people honest. People won't invest time or money if they can't trust the system sadly. The desire to win will always tempt someone to cheat in some fashion and there are a million ways to do so. Hell even when guys make online videos with multiple live cameras of them, the target and the range someone will claim it's faked. Rimfire central has some boards for score I believe you can post your stuff on to compare to others. It's basically on the honor system but there is no prizes or trophies.

I know. I feel set-up as there is pretty much a flyer every 5 shot group.

@drpietrzak haha 😄 me to Dale!! You would think they could remedy that issue fairly easily if they wanted to! It sure is annoying to say the least.

Thanks! I have had much better luck at this price point with SK Standard Plus. This did outperform Norma Tac-22 but not Standard Plus.

Yes, you would think! I have had a rough 6 months so I expect everything to come apart with the next shot! The rifle produces <.35" groups pretty regularly. It has done a couple around .16" as well.

@@drpietrzak Not surprised really. That rifle is capable of producing amazing groups when paired with the right ammo and shooter like yourself.

​ Well, I am nothing of note. It is certainly the rifle.

Right, I am shooting free recoil.

@drpietrzak is that better? I mean, can you behind the rifle pull off the same shot?

​@CountryRimfire Better is relative to the gun and context. Free recoil is popular right now in benchrest rigs. I shoot free recoil from a front rest, bipod or bag. With my spring powered air rifle some "grip" is added as that is what it likes. A Bergara BMR I had was too light for free recoil and needed more of a hunter hold against the shoulder. When I was shooting silhouette a hold against the shoulder was needed. So, for me it depends on the context. Consistency is the key. Does that help?

@drpietrzak yes! Thank you for the informative answer Dale that was very interesting!!

Thanks

Thanks 👍

Hum.

This appears to be one. I am confused.

Thanks!

Unclear about your question. This is a short looking down range prepping to shoot. One of the shooting videos drops tomorrow. Other videos will follow. With a USBR "mean green" 50-yards is a long ways! A lot of folks shoot these at 25-yards.

@@drpietrzak you can throw a rock 50 yards.

​@user-rw9sb4ov9z Yes, but I can't hit a 1/8" circle with a rock at 50-yards. This is the trick with a .22lr.

​@@drpietrzakit would be a trick a 500 yards, your just zeroing the scope at 50

@@mattfowler3718 I am sure it is easy for you but not me! I look forward to your 250 25x video of the USBR at 50-yards with a .22lr. I am jut not that good.

It never feels like it. 😀

Thanks!

A McMillan or something variation similar to YoDave. It has been over a year I do not remember for sure.

@drpietrzak ahh ok cool deal. I been researching and have found a couple but have nit decided on anything yet.

​@CountryRimfire I really like the Jard trigger in my other one.

@@drpietrzak yeah I was looking real close at that one! I will most likely go that route on my final build. 😁

The shooter, the environment, the ammo! The rifle, all things permitting, averages .29 to .34 with that lot of ammo.

@@drpietrzaki usually choose ammo which gives me an 0.7MOA @50. But mostly I shoot PRS. For benchrest I found that perfect ammo for my rifle is R-50 and Midas+.

I find Lapua Center-X, Long Range and by inference Midas+ better with this rifle and others.

I did as well!

@@drpietrzak 😄 🤣 😂

Definitely!

Great!

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

I wish all were like this one. The intermittent reinforcement schedule keeps me addicted. 😃

@@drpietrzak You've proven you're a knowledgeable and skilled marksman. I appreciate the technical side of your channel as that is where most shooters lack development I think.

@@RimfireAddicted70 I am not sure am other than an average guy who shoots a little. But, thanks!

I should try that! I love the idea. 😀

me too😂

I bought it during the COVID shut down. Nothing else.

@drpietrzak ohh haha gotcha!

Temperature changes are part of what the differences over days covers. I usually see more dispersion as things drop below 40F. But, temperature makes a substantial difference.

@countryrimfire Thanks, SK Std+ has been hit and miss for me, a bit like SK Rifle Match. I am like SK Std+ more of late. The targets are ARA Unlimited. A search on them will turn up the link. I think www.killoughshootingsports.com/search/ara-m97/ara Rimfirecentral.com has them on a single 8.5x11 in the Benchrest 25-50 Shooting Challenge group.

@drpietrzak awesome thanks for the link!! Yeah SK Rifle is hit and miss for me to in one of my rifles. In the new Bergara it is doing really well.

😀

Thanks!

I has to have a printed copy to not get lost.

Thanks!

I agree.

Thanks!

I appreciate that

Well, yes and no. Many of us do not lot test for various reasons. Those that do lot test often seem to rely on a single test to make a major long-term decision. What I do here is vary lots across the head-to-heads tests. When a test is run it uses a single lot, but the next test often uses a different lot. Though the sample here is too small, the cumulative data over many head-to-heads test is suggesting that the variation within lots is reflected in the amount of variation between lots. So that for those that don't lot test the cumulative data can point out the best option for the next purchase. So while no one test, lot or non-lot tested means much, the over time and comparative performance data helps. Small samples, for any procedure, are unreliable.

Nice! I have had generally poor luck with Eley. I may have to try it again!

Thanks

I appreciate your thoughts. As with across days and weather I also vary shooting front rests and bipods. I have just not gotten there for this rifle. I also vary cleaning as well. About 1/3 are chamber cleaned with dry patches down the barrel. Another 1/3 are full chamber and barrel cleaned, sometimes with a brush. The last 1/3 are shot fouled. I have used this process across other rifles. Interestingly, with cleaning, it seems for me that if there is reasonable balance between clean but fouled in seems to work. At this point I do some form of cleaning every 300 to 600 rounds. All targets are shot after the ammo stablizes into a reasonable group. This is done for each target, and again if there is a break in the middle of a process. Some people will think that fine. Others will dislike it.

There are so many things that mess me up!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks. I appreciate your time and thoughts.

Thanks!

You are welcome.

I am with you. :-)
