6BRA versus 6 Dasher @ 600 yards

I take it they are all 50's? and I don't know how this new GBA counts X's in score Use to be in in shoot off format x's count to break score ties...... jim
 
I seen a potential record target signed that day. As to my knowledge there are no records at this point and time. They also have a perfect score target of mine as a potential record. As well as a few other shooters targets that were better than mine and still have not got mine back. Good luck johara1 with your potential record but like the old saying goes, “ don’t count your chickens before they are hatched”


I think you are on the group side of things you a quoting. Score in a shoot off format is separated by X's. Then if the X's are the same it goes to group size. So has anyone shot a 4X 50 besides me?.....
Now you go to a Agg. format score is broken by group size, X's don't count for anything. You are right you have to wait till the shooting year is over, this isn't my first rodeo having set some in the IBS. ..... jim
 
Tom I take that as a slap in the face! I feel if they are not in the middle where your aiming your not getting it done.

Odds of winning score are a lot greater, and can be done with a lot less precision.
A 7" 100 is just as good as a 4" 100 for score, but is 43% less in precision.

In reality for "group benchrest", there shouldn't even be scoring rings on the target, then we would see many people doing a better job of tuning and advancing accuracy.

Personally when I read BR results I hardly care about the scores, but I admire the small groups and those that shoot them often. There the ones I want to hear from when it comes to tuning, load development, and accuracy advancements.

There’s a club near me that only shoots for scores.
I’ve shot very small HG and lost.
Oh well :oops:

I have always said when a shooter shoots a perfect score and has the smallest group in relay are shoot off he has done his job. The shooter has tuned his gun and done his job shooting. He should be award more for his effort.
 
I went out in the heat today and I am glad that I did. I wanted to try Reloder 15 vs H4895. We had a light (2-3mph) switching head wind and very hot temperature (with accompanying mirage). I shot the Re 15 first with poor results. The best load was the hottest one (31.5 gr.) but it was not great.

I then cleaned the barrel and tested Bart's Hammer and his Gungnir. I shot both of these seated .006 into the lands with H4895. I really wanted to test the Gungnirs since I have little experience with them. They did not disappoint. I shot 3-shot 600 yard groups with 30.3 gr (measured 1.060) and two with 30.6 gr. which measured (.858 and 1.032). The one 3-shot group that I shot with the Hammer seated +.006 and 30.4 gr. of H4895 measured 1.755. I learned a couple things today. One is that this barrel likes the warm load (30.6 H4895) and that the Gungnirs are VERY capable bullets. I used Federal 205M primers throughout. JamesDSCF0003.JPG DSCF0005.JPG
 
That's what I like about our 500m fly shooting.. We get a score for what we hit and then we get a score for group size. Add them together and that's our target score.. Under an inch you get a 10 score . 1 to 2 inches a 9 score 2 to 3 inch an 8 etc.. Then if you get them all in the middle even better..
Eg see pic group score was 1.16inch at 500m/547y so I get a 9.. If you get the fly its 0.1 or 0.01 depending on what scorers use.. You only need to break the line to get that score..
No point getting the smallest group on paper somewhere and only getting a max score of 10 when 1 shot in the 10 ring will give you that

Tom I'm glad your busting on Jim, that means your leaving me alone! But Jim is still a good not great but good competitor for an old guy.
So Jim when someone finally puts ten in the X at 1000 then I'll be impressed.
