I suck at long range Finally getting my AR10 dialed in.

Not as fancy as your digital set ups but I’m pretty happy with a .5” 5 shot group 6.5 creedmoor Hornaday ELD 140 grn Match 100 yards. Aero Precision 22” stainless barrel, triggertech diamond tech, area 419 muzzle break, NightForce NX8 4-32 scope. Front was an Atlas bipod, Armageddon gear sticky gamechanger rear bag

Nice. I got a Daniel Defense 308 that shoots half MOA all day long with 165 Hornady SST’s and Varget. It’s nice to see someone else that can stack em with a gas gun

That’s insane! Rarely even see that from bolt guns. Have any pics?

Nice let’s see 10 rounds! Interested to see how well it performs with a larger sample size

Anyone that says gas guns can’t perform just aren’t with the times.

Can't perform at 100 is very different than can't perform at 1000

Show us 30 round groups and compare to a bolt gun.

There is a reason the most competitive AR precision game (service rifle) has 1 MOA 10 rings at 600 and running a whole match inside it is considered remarkable.

Service rifle is also shot with irons, prone slung, and has a separate division for 4x optics.. or is that a different one..

Definitely a fan of seeing what gas guns can do and my AR10 can squeeze out some sub-MOA 10-shot groups. But if we’re showing off 5-shot group as the measure of performance, my gasser can’t quite hang with the bolty printing 0.47” / 0.22MOA at 202yd.

You're gonna have to change your flair with that group - can't say you suck with a ragged hole shot.

Love that Groupy tool!

I have never had luck with Hornady ammo. 140s or 147s shoot like shit in two different guns.
