RD LPR 15 - The first 1000 rds

June 2024 I made the following post on IG and wanted to share the data in full transparency behind the post. Visit the Resources page to check it out. Note: This testing was prior to the release of Blackarc Munitions 80.5g Berger offering "226 Elite," where I will later publish a full analysis on it specifically. Stay tuned! "My Ridgeline RD LPR: The First 1,000 Rounds

Test Target: .476 moa (FGMM 77SMK, 5 rds)

OOTB first personal group .38 moa (Nosler .223 77g Pro Match HPBT, 5 rds)

I conducted an ammo assessment using popular 77g match ammo and note some key observations:

- Avg 5 rd group: .52 moa

- Avg ATZ for all brass cased ammo is inside .3 mils in E and .1 mils W

- I’m confident each of these rounds can consistently produce sub-moa accuracy. I’ve had exceptional results with ammo thus far on the journey: BlackArc Munitions, AAC OTM, and FGMM. Although I’ve only used a small sample of Black Hills, OTM and MOD 1 C, my experience with them in the RD LPR has been consistent with my previous >10 years of use and top notch. Ammo pictured.

Key findings on RD LPR:

- I’ve taken the rifle completely apart and it held zero

- Cold bore shots have been consistent with .1 elev.

- No definable positional shift

- I’ve run entirely suppressed (KGM R6) and have zero hesitations competing with it as is (think impulse/flip/sight picture IE speed)

- Paired w BlackArc Munitions NAS3 77 SMK, the data gathering/confirmation process has been the easiest I’ve experienced for 556. My zero was a .4 moa 5rd group and elevation was dead on all the way through transonic and at subsonic range at 1k

I’m genuinely incredibly impressed across the board and am having an absolute blast running it."
