600 Yard MRP

[4570govt]

I shot in a 600 Yard Mid Range Prone match on 18 September 2020 at the Vets Shooting Center. This time I used a 26 inch barreled AR15 with scope, shot in the Match Rifle category. I have no pictures, but my scores were 192-6X, 194-3X, 193-5X. Wind was 15-20 and variable, most of my wind calls were on the money, but sometimes, when making the shot, the wind would suddenly stop, giving me a shot where I didn't want it!

We run these matches per NRA rules, soon we will have regular sanctioned matches, I'll start working on my classification again.

Sounds like pretty good shooting to me bud !
That 26" will give you a couple of hundred ft/sec faster, no matter what load you use !

Thanks, this barrel is part of a White Oak upper, it is very accurate, the only limitation is me!
