Talking My Latest Sport Shooting.

Hi Guys hope all is well...This is my latest shooting, testing out 4 different reloads over CFE223 powder. I am shooting at 100yrds. In order of shooting, 55gr V-max, 53gr V-max, 55gr Dogtown HP's and 55gr Hornady FMJBT. Plus I threw in a group with my mini-14. This is an older sport with the 1:8 5R barrel.

Thanks for the ride!

Enjoyed the video there Grover.

What happened to all the trees? Just joking, as I used to live in Oklahoma. I see the wind is still blowing as it did when I left.

It is the Nikon M-223 and the Scope is an Optronix 8-32x42. I have had the scope for a few years and have moved it around on different rifles. I have taken it off and put a Nitrex 6-20x50 and also a Bushnell 6-24x50. But with the 1:8 5R barrel and doing a lot of Prairie Dog hunting over 200yrds the higher magnification is nice.

Thanks again for going to the trouble to make the video.

Will be sending the link to my .223 shooting buds to help backup my bragging about the Sport.

I just recorded the shooting. I have a friend who is an artist. He also is a Sport Owner who took my raw footage and made this work. He also did another one for me. The credit goes to BHarada, my versions were not near this nice!!!

Here is the one he did with my Gong shooting that same day. My friend an I were shooting at some 8" gongs at the same distance. I really have to work on my concentration with my irons, but those offsets work very well when I do my part!!

That was some great shooting, Grover.

Here's my best grouping with the 55gn Varmageddon, which we're all thinking are the same as the Dogtowns and Varmint Nightmare X-tremes...



For reference the target is on a 1/8" grid.

This was shot with my Sport (1:8 5R barrel) and a Nikon M-223 2-8x32 scope with a bipod off a bench.

I've been spending the majority of my time shooting my Mossberg MVP, but I'll need to make more time for the Sport.

Thanks for posting that Bill...yeah I believe those bullets are the same and right now they seem to be one of the most accurate affordable plinking/varmint bullets going.
