If there is an award for "rear bag closest to 96 in without going over", I'm prepared to win that. I made a square box and then figured a cylinder would allow me to optimize better. I probably should be working on my loads instead...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 0627Devildog: Originally Posted By D_J: Real men use the steering wheel, not the gas pedal. Hence the GTR and instead of a TurboS? In many cases, the Turbo S is similarly fast or faster than the GT cars even on the track due to all that power, tq and AWD grip. But a turbo will never sound like a NA GT car and that's a huge part of the passion. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dalyman72: Have either the AAC or SMK 77gr projectiles shown themselves to outperform the other? In the lots that I’ve tested, they seem to be very close, with the SMK’s performing slightly better (we’re talking 0.45moa compared to 0.56moa). A lot will be chamber/barrel dependent, as well as lot to lot variation, imo. |

Speaking of ammo, in the true spirit of the MOA challenge, I have assembled myself half a case of mexican match ammo. And I assembled a gun out of spare parts. Preparation is low, but expectations are high.
