As the title states, 50 shots at a single aimpoint at 100 yards.
Any rimfire rifle, or pistol, any caliber, any setup you like.
Not everyone has access to a 200 yard range, but most have access to a 100.
Let's see just how tight those clusters can be with ye'r favorite rig and the cartridge it "likes".
No rush, take ye'r time, use windflags and/or one piece rests.

Benchrest competitors...ya' don't have an excuse not to show what can be done.
Ya' don't even have to change the vertical adjustment on the scope, only the focus/parallax.
Just remember the poi will be 7 to 8 inches below ye'r 50 yard crosshair setting.
Here's a chance to show what can be done with ye'r custom setup.

That's 50 shots, all at the same aimpoint, at 100 yards.
Indoors, outdoors, offhand, bench, prone, are all acceptable.
Include pics of the setup, the view downrange, the cartridges
and the results with a ruler alongside the group for reference.
Include wind direction and velocity to see how it affected the trajectories.
You don't even need to chronograph the results.
We can figure that out from the vertical spread. :D

There are lots of claims of all day long,
let's see what really happens for just one box of ammo.
See if those "all day longs" actually hold up. ;)

I have some assorted leftovers from the 50 at 200 to work through.
Might as well send them at 100 yards as a comparison.

I'll link the results in order by cartridge and brand for easy searching.
Spectacular results will be highlighted for envious ogling. :rolleyes:

To review results produced at 100 yards in a testing tunnel see the 25 at 100 thread.

I’ll play, 44 degrees and the Martini is feeling neglected as it’s been unfired for three weeks. It may not be pretty but guns loaded and on the way to range. Cloudy with 12-14mph headwind I’ll shoot some lower grade munitions.

Head wind and quartering from eleven opened up Eley CMP bulk. Known ES of 46fps.

Eley Edge also in the 42fps ES range, not happy with ammo north of $10 range.

Fiocchi TT Sport, one double hammer fall on first round, old stale ammo that may have gotten damp in cooler. Many rounds dropping off bottom edge of paper.

Wind died down but CCI Blazers not up to task.

Dead calm CCI Mini Mags to finish off the afternoon. Went 100 rounds Blazer and Mini Mags without cleaning between fifty.

W8, that range is gorgeous, and that Martini is just eye candy. :D

Thanks for getting this thread off to a good start.
Rained all morning here, went to the pistol range instead,
so others could laugh and poke fun at my lack of offhand skill. :rolleyes:

Looks like 3 moa on the Eley CMP.
2 plus on the Eley Edge.
The Fiocchi TT, made in Italy, was obvious junk.
CCI Blazer is 2.5 moa and the Mini-Mags showed 3 with a weak load dropper.

Benchrest competitors...ya' don't have an excuse not to show what can be done. Here's a chance to show what can be done with ye'r custom setup.
Figured this was a good chance to try a lot of Eley Match that the 1411 didn't seem to like. No UL gear here. Just a 2 piece, supporting a factory rifle with a couple flags and shot off a picnic table.

Self-propelled artillery Tank Combat vehicle Motor vehicle Tree


Low wind. Experimented using my left hand for the trigger. Seemed a lot easier to avoid contact with the rifle (free recoil).

Plant Tree Gas Recreation Grass


Fired 6 fouling shots before moving to the record bull. Fouling shots had 1.7" of vertical before settling down.

Used the bull above for the POA and just held on the dot. 1st five shots were killer then things started to open up....

Thanks Jaia. Fun to do. Never would have thought of it on my own.

Good idea jaja! If you want to better your game at fifty yard bench play the distance. Besides a great way to get rid of stale ammo, 300 rounds down range today between the Martini and 788 in .243 fire forming cases necked down from .308’s.

Busy range day waiting on target posters with a few guys standing there scratching their heads as to what the quiet guy was attempting to do with big holes in the bulls😎

Range is a half hour drive from house but worth the drive with plenty of benches and drive out to 300 yard where I like to play. Forty plus permanent benches on two separate ranges divided by berm. 48” concrete walkways out to 100 yard on both covered ranges, just wish they would have poured concrete benches. Otherwise Guberment money well spent on a public range.

W8, plenty of 22lr to try. Add as many attempts as you like.
I'll keep track and link the results.

Cattleman...didja have to set the bar so high?
I'm gonna have trouble getting anywhere near those kind of results! :( ;)

1.25 inches at 100 yards would be about 3.75 inches at 200 yards....Daaaaayyyyyuuuuum! :eek:
Better'n anything I would do with the 22lr.

jaia. Thanks for the kind feedback. I wasn't expecting much with this lot of Black box Eley.
It was very low wind. 3rd time shooting this rifle. I'm pretty happy with it.

Cattleman, that's a very impressive standard. Your Fortner action rifle shoots.
Penage Guy. Thank you. That means a lot.
Shot the Fortner for the 1st time at 50yds at a local money match. Tied the club record.

That was a great start C.
I wouldn't mind at all, to see what ya' can accomplish on a really good day. :eek:

I'd also like to see the rest of ya'll give this an attempt or two, or three, or ten...;)

I don't mind keeping track of the results, as it makes for a great reference of ammo quality.
Especially when I read those claims of "all day long" with cheap bulk ammo. :D

JN...I've been giving serious thought to one upping ye'r pet pic there.
Wouldn't be hard to mount a set of rings and a scope on an old keyboard. :D

Add an F-Class bipod and it'd be a whole new insult, eh? :rolleyes:

I could even convert it into a Fuglie...real easy. ;)

That is pretty impressive to be able to keep 50 rounds in that tight of a group @100 yards. Nice shooting.

Thank you Nick. Blessed to have a 100yd range on the farm where I can cherry pick conditions. It's also shielded from the wind to some extent. Much more so then the wide open venues found in the Midwest or further West.

I'd be in SERIOUS trouble in real wind and shooting against the RFBR Pro's.

Back quiet.

Hey Bruce....I've got some news for you. The big wide open ranges are the easiest to shoot even though they sometimes have BIG WIND. The hard ones are those small hole in the trees, down in a hole ranges, back in a corner ranges. Even small winds at those ranges are the worst with the constant switch and twitch.
 
#26 ·
Vinbyr. That's good to know! Thanks. Explains why the local club had flags setup at a access road to thier tree lined 50yd range vs near the bench's.

There's an inherent truth to the show up and shoot philosophy. Met some really great local guys recently. Plotting a trip to Kettlefoot next year.
