I came here to post the same thing after I realized I was going to be responding to imyomama in every thread if I didn't! I posted a range report a while back with paper targets. I've only posted one or two, because I saw no need to continually keep posting targets with holes in them.
 
#1 - It doesn't prove anything. Anyone can take a target, put it at 10m, and pop 10 shots through the bullseye.
#2 - So you have information, my last 'accuracy' testing (working on my reloads with Hornady A-Max bullets) brought home one .83" 5 shot group at 100m. Hope this was the info you're looking for. I'm not a good enough shooter (yet) to consistently post groups that nice, but it's certainly possible to shoot good groups with this rifle.
 
That said - I was never able to do sub-moa with factory ammunition. Federal Gold Match was the best factory ammo, and it was just about 1" at 100m. WWB netted me 2" or so at 100m after my headspacing issue was corrected.
 
I get the best results with 45gr of Varget with the bullet seated so the COAL is 2.800". Barnes TTSX 168gr or Hornady A-Max 168gr, both seated to the same COAL. No idea how, but they shoot almost exactly the same at 100m. 500m+ the Barnes has the edge. I'm using Winchester brass, now.

^ That was my initial thread, before I had dialed in the load/learned to shoot the RFB better. There's some target photos for you.
 
[Edit: Just checked my logbook, COAL on my best groups was actually 2.800". Also, keep in mind, I haven't spent a huge amount of time dialing in loads nor working off the bench. I've been practicing practical shooting with my 'good enough' reloads for now, since I'm hunting quite frequently.]

cool!! I run 168 SMK moly's , varget  on winchester brass on my bolt gun and get decent groups at 500 meters at my ranch.. nice to have your own place to shoot with no rules.. I welded my own target .. here is a pic of a 500 meter group .. first was low .. adjusted  accordingly shooting kinda fast it was hot!! 100 degrees in texas!!!
it was also windy that day.. see flag on second pic..   I hope I can get the RFB to hit steel out to 500 .. not expecting much more than that for a battle rifle... i'd be really happy with that!

You missed the point of the 25 post rule for Trading Post access. If you don't want to read the Welcome To KTOG post that explains the reasoning behind the rule, then at least try to look at it from someone else's perspective, rather than just seeing the rule only in terms of the minor inconvenience it presents to you. Nobody has any motivation to encourage you to make 25 short posts, mostly devoid of any significant content, in order to access the Trading Post. Quite the contrary, in fact. At no time were you discouraged from posting questions about the RFB. We love questions, and gladly answer the same questions over and over. You weren't criticized or discouraged in any way from posting some wildly enthusiastic content-free messages about the RFB. Most of us have been there. You were simply asked not to post the same thing in a bunch of different threads in an attempt to bump your post count so you could access the Trading Post.
 
It should be obvious, but the reason for the 25 post requirement isn't all about you, the newbie buyer. The 25 post requirement is an attempt to provide some minimal assurance to those selling in the Trading Post. If you're a contributing member in the KTOG community, and it IS a community, then the seller can read your posts and determine if you are someone he might want to trade with. If you post a bunch of nearly identical "someone post some ten shot groups" posts, a seller doesn't have any good basis for a trading decision, although it definitely does say something about your character.

Just so we're clear, posting a lot isn't a problem, and being excited about the RFB obviously isn't a problem. The problem arises when you try to circumvent the rules by making numerous nearly identical posts to increase your post count so you can access the Trading Post, and in doing so you are inconsiderate to the active RFB community that logs in to KTOG to see if there is any new RFB news, or to try to help someone with a question or a problem, and they read your same "post some ten shot groups" message in most of the threads on the front page of the RFB forum. That behavior is so offensive that it's one of the few ways to be banned from KTOG. But don't take my word for it. I'm just the guy who deletes the occasional spam and tries to offer helpful suggestions to get new members off to a good start. If you follow the link I provided above and do a little bit of reading, you'll find the following quote from the *REAL* KTOG moderator.

It's easy to find. It's just above "How to Get Banned in 7 Minutes or Less", showing a series of short posts used to bump up a post count for access to the Trading Post.
 
You are more than welcome to ask questions, make comments, share your excitement about the RFB, and even offer criticisms of the RFB, but don't engage in post wh0ring in an attempt to circumvent the rules you didn't bother to read to get instant Trading Post access. KTOG is a cool place, and that's not cool.
 
I hope none of the regulars who know all of this stuff read this far, but if you did, I apologize for the non-RFB diversion.

my original reason for being pissed off was that he said I had 9 post all about the 10 shot group ... and that's just not true..! Read ALL my posts and then you can get on my tushy about it .. but you won't because I didn't! yes when people were talking about shot groups , I replied on that subject .. but that's not all I did ... so the moderator's comment and line from the movie to make him sound like a bad ass was taken in a wrong way...
 
yall need to chill!! i think your mighty moderator powers are going to your heads!
 
I really don't have time to read all your responses..  all I care about  is this comment " @imyomama - You currently have the last post in nine of the threads on the front page of the RFB forum, and they're minor variations on the same theme. You want to see targets of ten shot RFB groups. That's a reasonable request and I hope someone honors that request, but dredging up old threads to add an off-topic post requesting ten shot group targets is not cool.  
 
I'd take a tip from Jules in Pulp Fiction. I'd knock that $#!& off if I was you. "
 
THAT WAS NO TRUE! THAT WAS NO TRUE!  
THAT WAS NO TRUE!
 
 
i'm tired of repeating myself .. can we PLEASE move on?
