I got out the range on Thursday and started off at the 500 yd range as nobody was on there so I had the line to myself. I was on paper from the first group thanks to my older data. Then I attempted to make an adjustment of 1 min up and 3 min left and wound up with group #2, which, to me, must be the best I've done and been able to record the evidence. I just did the (3) 5 round groups before moving to the 300 yd line with the busy crowd of other shooters.

I was shooting my 'match' AR with the re-purposed 1:9 twist Wylde barrel I took of my LAR15A2 a while back. The upper is a White Oak carry handle upper with the pinned A2 rear sight. I need to check the windage threads because my adjustment appears to have taken me almost 6 min left instead of just 3. I came back half the distance and got some shots in the center in group 3, however I was getting fatigued and not holdong my sight alignment as good anymore. The upper is supposed to have the 1/4min/click adjustments. I thought it was for elevation and windage. I need to compare to my regular LAR15A2 rear sight.

I was shooting 70g Berger VLDs with 23.7g of IMR4895 which go about 2,800 FPS. Prone with a web loop sling. F class target with the 3' diameter aiming black.

That is some amazing shooting. Our club range only goes to 300yds so I can't imagine 500yds!
PS Is that a residential house to the left of your target?

Thanks! Regarding the house, I don’t believe anyone lives there. But I’ve not been around after closing, 😂 It is kind of strange. For example it doesn’t look completely finished. Might be from the land acquisition or change in plans as the place developed. Delmarva Sporting Clays in Mardela Springs, Md.

I’m super jealous you don’t have a (insert depth) layer of snow on the ground to contend with.
