I'm in, gotta load some, but it's on. Gonna be entering a 16" dpms sportical, 18" RRA varmint, and a 20" SD 6mm WOA.

What is the time frame as to when these must be entered?

 

[Merdit]

Well, I took my crack at it with my RRA Coyote rifle and American eagle 50grain gray tipped vmax loads. Not spectacular shooting. Guess I didn't "do my part" all that hot. Shot off sandbags front and rear. Definitely worth the powder and trigger time, though.

Think I'll give it another whirl with some handloads. Sure would like to keep them all under 1".

Shot left to right, top row then bottom. After group #1, I felt pretty good. Not so much after #2. Need some work on my consistency.

Magpul ACS on an otherwise factory Coyote Rifle. 3-15 Nitrex TR2 with EBX reticle in a Nikon mount.

You`ll still be on the top ten list Merdit..nothing to be ashamed of...not so easy as many would believe..me thinks.

Please do get that SD in there! Just make sure you shoot better with the DPMS so you have a chance to win the prize pack from DPMS.

You too OT I know you love your DPMS also. Two left as I have already claimed mine you guys just don't know it yet!

No time frame has been set yet. I'm sure when the thread starts to die we will close it up.

Thanks Hooked if I would have seen where your from I would have double checked your math!!

J/k

 

[dmpowder]

Merdit you just took 3rd in both and bumped some guys! Better get to work as I'm sure they will not take to kindly on that one.

Us DPMS shooters better get to work as there is only one on the boards now!

 

[hylander]

Just saw this thread
I'm in but it might be a week before I get to the range.
Gotta load some Vmax's for the 18" SD

 

[nastynatesfish]

Well nothing special. Dont have a load worked for this new to me DPMS 20" 1-8 twist barrel, it's also a dpms lower with a RRNM trigger. Just looked the load up and cut off max .5gr.
Charged up 35 rounds loaded with 27gr varget and 55gr hornady sp set to the cannalure. Scope is a 6.5-20x50 Simmons whitetail classic set at 16X.
Here's the horror pics lol
1.393-.224=1.169
.837-.224=.613
1.190-.224=.966
1.158-.224=.935
1.318-.224=1.094
1.113-.224=.889

Best one, not to bad. .837-.224=

The rifle as I shot it

 

[rcsauer]

I am game. If I can get out to the range tomorrow morning I will play. I have some new 55gr HPBT's that are the cats' meow. Shot way better than I could have anticipated.
Fingers crossed that none of the kids will get sick and the weather cooperates.

 

[nastynatesfish]

I need to work a load for the rifle, I'm wanting to use the 69gr nosler custom comps. I got a bunch left from my stevens

 

[crashnrondo]

I posted this on the Hide as well, I hope that's OK...

I got out with a newly assembled 6x45 today, it has a 3-12 Monarch and I was shooting 70gr Nosler BT's. Average .736 and best group is .39, boy would I like to have 2 rounds back on the 5th group...
The rifle, all YHM with a Black Hole Weaponry barrel

The whole target

Best group .39

 

[Hooked]

Looks like the competition is heating up a bit..I better get back out there

 

[hunt1]

I hope this works it's my first try at photos.

No excuses, but not my best day.

I shot these groups with a 24 inch DPMS in .223 using factory Fiochi ammo shooting 50gr Vmax bullets.

I shot prone off front and rear bags.

If I get another chance I will try again to get rid of those loose groups.
I also have a new DPMS that I need rings for that I have not shot yet.

Group 1 1.088
Group 2 .526
Group 3 .526
Group 4 1.026
Group 5 1.026
group 6 1.151
Avg. .890

Looking good there hunt1 !!! need to get a pic of that rifle.

Feel free to post results even if you don't make the leader boards. We are producing more of a data base of quality information more than anything... Nothing like actual results from good people like hunt1 here, rather than people running at the mouth and not backing up their words. '

Good job there hunt1.

Good shooting hunt1. I tried some of the 40gr fiochi but the 1-8 in mine doesn't shoot it as well as my bolt. May just need to find some 50 and try it. Again way to shoot

 

[Hooked]

Welcome to Predator Masters Elfster1234..hey at least dmpowder gave you the credit

A fun challenge and good idea for sure.
Good to have you here, I may post at the hide a little more frequently as well..hmm. don`t recall my join date there but only like six post maybe. I joined there when looking for answers to some difficulties I was having with my R25. I was fairly new to forums then IIRC..even here.
A great bunch here at PM`s..my friend/co-worker that frequents the `Hide, says the same about you all.
Well, I guess i might as well `spill the beans`..shot another 30 rnds tonight with hopes of posting results saying `read em and weep men`...looks like I`ll be weeping tonight

. I`ll try again tomorrow.

Same shootout buddy as you see in the first page just another leader board for the ones that don't want to post on the hide. Which some already have and I urge others to also! If you don't want to join ask me or Elfster and we will post your results if you want.


Hey Elfster did you see which company stepped up and offered a prize??? It's the same company that's winning!

 

[Elfster1234]

yeah, i checked the whole thread over and it looks really good, especially the DPMS part! wow, that is really nice of them.... that goes to show ya just how awesome DPMS is as a company. I've owned two DPMS rifles in my day and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them one bit. All of them have been wonderful rifles. NOW, we just need to get LMT to kick in a new rifle over on the hide!!! LOL... and maybe rock river, JP, GP, and ohhhh yeah, a new OBR rifle too!! I'll take one of those! LOL

If for some reason you don't want to join the hide, feel free to kick me a PM with your pic links and I'll make the results posting for ya,,,,,,,,,,,although it would be nice to see ya join. Either way, it's all semi-auto cool baby!!!!!

Looking good so far Dmpowder. You'd the man.
