5in group at 850 with a 223 gas gun? Man I want what you got.6.5 creedmoor and .223 at roughly 650, 750 and 850 yards. 24" and 16" gong at 850, 30x18 silhouette with 7" hostage and chest flap reactive targets at 750, 3 12" gongs at 650.
3 groups from my AR. 6 shot at 650 and 5 shot at 850. There was almost no wind the first 20 or so minutes we were there. The following couple hours it picked up and was changing speed and direction making trying to do groups difficult. Also the steel had been shot up pretty good after a little bit making it difficult to distinguish groups as well. I was using Hornady black 75gr match for all but my final group. Final group was at the end if the day using 69 gr Australian outback match ammo at 650, wind was steady. For stuff I bought for .50 a round it has performed fantastic for me.

Yeah I was pretty happy with that. I'm not sure how repeatable that is tbh. It took a few rounds to get on steel then after I found a hold I fired that string of shots in roughly 45 seconds. I know numerous times throughout shooting aside from those groups I was stringing 3-4 shots together in good groups. Then the wind would shift and I'd miss by like 2 mils left. Then 10 seconds later miss 1 mil right lol. So what I'm doing isn't really like a competition group. It's more walk it in, find a hold and get a good group while the wind is consistent.
My buddy with his 6.5 had a 1.8" 4 shot string of shots at 850.
I shot 223 for PRS Tac, 75gr elds. A 2mph shift at 700+ moves my round .2 per MPH, I’ve shot a stage hit center, wind shifts, between shots and I’m off an edge.
It’s fun but frustrating.
I wasn't using it but the black hills 77 gr tmk has a .42 G1. I use it out to 1000+. It's a very impressive .223 round.

Range - 2020/03/09
I bought a bulk pack of Remington 9mm, 115g FMJ. Started the day with getting used to the new sights at 7 and 10 yards respectively. Shot a shitty group out to 25 yards, then finished off with some double taps from compressed ready at 7 and 10 yards.
I think going forward, at least for a little while, I'll be shooting at 25 and 10 yards; 30 rounds at 25 and the rest will be double taps from compressed ready at 10.
I can call it, after the shot, when I jerk the trigger; the low shots mostly. As for veering left, the next time around, I'll try more finger on the trigger. I've had the habit of shooting almost near the tip, which is probably why it shoots left.More to our last conversation.
Have you tried loading dummy rounds in your mags at random points, mixing the mags up then firing groups? It will show you real fast what you are doing wrong on that dummy round.
Have you practiced 1 hand groups? This has also helped me. Slow concentrated fire with one hand. It definitely exposes and accentuates what you're doing wrong. If you can start getting good slow fire groups then speed it up and recovering quickly for acceptable a zone hits your two handed will improve a lot. This is something I forget to practice but it definitely helps.

I've also realized I don't shoot that well cold. The way the album was published, my most recent shots appear first and the start of my range session was at the end of the album.
@RerouteToRemain, how far do you shoot one handed?
I'll be honest, I don't do it often. It'll either be because shooting one handed is part of my final qualifier stage, but at like 5 yards. The only other time I find myself shooting with one hand is when I break out the Single Six, but that's a different animal.

To this point, for much of my pistol shooting, I adopted a Bob Vogel-style deathgrip; where my elbows would flare out and I would almost visualize trying to press the ridges of my hands inwards.Another thing that happens to cause movement is your grip can tighten as you break your shot. Basically in anticipation of recoil. You can examine the effect just holding a gun, basically just add more pressure to your hand quickly and watch the sights move. It was a habit I had and many shooters have without realizing it. That is where the one handed helped me. Learning to keep 1 consistent pressure grip throughout the shot.
