[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2929918, member: 34489"] Finally had the chance to go to the range and practice with a red dot I have not spent much time with. It's a 2MOA, and I took a buck with it a couple weeks ago. It's true place is on top of my AR15. I was trying to accomplish two things. 1. Will my 1/9 twist barrel shoot 62 gn bullets respectably 2. Evaluate case prep DISCLAIMER: after sighting in, I shot only one 5 shot group. What you see is that one group, not the best out of several groups. Goal 1. 5 shot group at 50yards with AE 62gn FMJBT ammo. All shot were taken relatively quickly (i'd approximate 30 sec for 5 rounds) [ATTACH]62882[/ATTACH] Im shooting about 2MOA. How am I doing? Goal 2. 4-5 shot groups at 50 yards with brass that [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER] supplied (see piece of pictures for more details). All loads were 22g of Varget behind a 62gn FBHP. All shot were taken relatively quickly (i'd approximate 30 sec for 5 rounds). [ATTACH]62894[/ATTACH][ATTACH]62890[/ATTACH][ATTACH]62893[/ATTACH][ATTACH]62889[/ATTACH][ATTACH]62892[/ATTACH] there are 4 shots in the first pic of that series The major lesson that I learned is .... sort brass by headstamp! More testing to be done for sure. A big thanks to you [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER], for your effort. One questions that lingers in my mind (honestly)... how much better should I be shooting with a red dot? I need to take longer shots but I am guessing that 2MOA is probably the best I will get with a 2MOA red dot. Or am I selling the red dot and the rifle short? feedback encouraged :) [/QUOTE]
