That's pretty darn good, Alltherage, at least in my experience. Oh, I get the occasional quarter minute or less, but it certainly is not the rule. A few months back I acquired two new X-Caliber barrels in 22-250 and 6mmBR, both 8 twist and 28 inch, and I'm finding that they shoot much better than I can.

I recently took the 6mmBR to the 1000 yard range where you have to qualify to earn the right to shoot on the long distance side. To pass, I had to put 3 on the steel at 750, 500, and 250. No misses allowed and no practice shots once you've doped the course, and the R.O was spotting me.

And after qualifying, I put 6 of 10 on the steel at 1000. Wind was pretty bad, and the 105 gr was pretty much out of steam at that range, but I was able to make it happen.

It was done with a gun I built entirely from parts bought on this forum and assembled by me. That was a two years in the making dream come true for me.

Ain't this sport a kick?!
