I'm a terrible shot I'll admit to that but here are some targets I did today.  Nothing special but just to give you an idea that RRA garuntee of 1.5 MOA is true even from somebody who can't shoot.

1st target is 2 seperate 3 shot groups with my reloads of 150s which are not for bullseye/precision shooting.


2nd target is 5 shots of tap.  The 2 lower shots is me walking it up to center, followed by a 3 shot group at 100 yards.  The flyer is the one I realized the gas block had came loose.


Next outting I'll try to get some velocities and maybe a more accomplished shooter.
ETA: 100 rounds with out cleaning other than lubing the bolt

thanks. I have really been waiting on some range reports.

how did the gas block come loose? that doesnt sound normal, isnt it pinned to the barrel?

how about running a little torture test? not cleaning the action for a while till you see how long it can go without cleaning?

Its a PRI gas block that I put on so it would fit under the SWS rails I have.  I didn't snug it down as I wanted to make sure it functioned.  Didn't add in the additional recoil of the 308 vs the 223 so it moved forward on me.  I'm currently doing a no clean test to see how long it will run while still lubbing it up.  After that I'll run it with out lub on the BCG to see how long that will work.

I'm waiting on a friend to get everything typed up.  We went out and shot 9 or so different loads and chronoed all of them as well as 10 shot group sizes.  We'll have a range report soon.  Steel thanks for posting that up, looking forward to seeing more.

You mean your going to let the masses know that is not some RRA conspiracy that we are keeping to ourselves!  Shame on you guys SHAME!

I'm going to try to get back to the range tomorrow to get some chrono data on tap and some of my home loads.  I've got some 175 SMKs on order that I'm going to work up for my accuracy loads I think.  The 150s grouping at a 1" is ok since they are half the price of the SMKs.

Conspiracy?  I know I'm part of the vast right-wing conspiracy, but I didn't know that I was part of (maybe ebven leading)a secret RRA-based conspiracy.  I must be so good and secretive that I haven't even told myself what I'm up to.  
Seriously, thanks for the continued efforts to get the word (and images) out.  Coming from folks who put out their own money for a product, it carries more weight than coming from me (BTW, I'm still waiting for my LAR-8...the order change Imade put me further down the list than I thought it would).

RRA builds a great product...  I just wish you guys would magnaflux your bolts, or are you doing that now?

I found some 150 SMKs at the local fun store today so I'm going to them with me today when I head out to the range here in a minute.  I also picked up some 165 sierras but didn't pay attention that they where gamekings instead of match kings.  Didn't know varmints came that big

You apparently have never seen the .50BMG AMAX loads.
