It’s all coming together Atlas Rifle

Two years ago I purchased an Atlas Rifle on the classifieds that came with a 284 Winchester, 6 BR barrel and two stocks. 284 barrel was on on the action and my plan was to try shooting 1000 yds. Never got around to it so friend installed the 6 BR barrel few weeks ago and this is the first load I put together. 5 shots @ 100 yds :D
Last year I started shooting club BR matches with Savage 6 BR. Yesterday I shot BR match with the Atlas and finished 3’rd with a 199 10X’s. Now I need to learn how to read the wind flags since this is all new to me.
I want to thank you guys for the knowledge I have gained from this site.

Friend and I went to range last week and and it was the first time I have ever shot at 600 yds. First target was around 4 inches and then I ruined an awesome group on the 5’th shot.

Good shooting! Really hard to beat a 6BR. No need for the average guy to own anything else for punching holes in paper @ 300-600 yards.
 
Yes, impressive accuracy. For the average club shooter the 6mmBR With no-turn chamber dies the job. I do also like the 6BRA for the higher velocity it allows and case stability. You can run a little less pressure and still hit a nice velocity node. And now reamers and dies are readily available For the 6BRA.

I can shoot worse than that! ;-)

Ya gotta know when to quit bud!

I am happy to see you putting retirement to good use!!

Don't be so hard on yourself!

We've all done the same thing and sometimes more than once!:eek:

Celebrate the 4 really good shots and ignore that 5th one. Next time you'll get them all in the same knot of holes.:D

Enjoy Father's Day!
