extremely happy AR10 - 6.5 creedmoor rifle

February 10, 2019, 06:11:27 PM

I finally am making a report on my recent build .... Matrix Aerospace upper/lower AR10, with Ballistic Advantage 22" , SIG Tango4 6x24 glass, 8 twisty barrel - 6.5 CM with rockriver 2 stage trigger, nothing else matters!
Yesterday at the range with friends.... shooting 1000 yrds in 50 deg. weather. Load was as follows:
Brass: once fired Hornady 6.5 cm
Powder with charge: RL16, 41.8 gr.
Primer: CCI - 43 - Military primer
Bullet - Hornady 140 BTHP
COAL - 2.810"
Speed over chrono and Labradar 2740 fps
Wind- the most unpredictable I have ever seen, Mirage would go Left to Right horizontal then switch Right to left then die out.
Dope: 29MOA drop. 3.5 MOA wind..... consistant 1k hits on steel, (7 in a row from bench with bipod and rear bag) what a day.... confirmed with remote video cameras.
I hope this encourages others to get out there and go for the gold! Keep shooting my friends.
Oh, BTW, I am a retired LEO with lousy vision and cafine shakes.
