Long Distance: Getting started


Matt.Cross

Recommended Posts

I just piled up an epic Mile shot a weekend or so ago.  

image.jpeg.96b550e33a85906044f385d6eb7fb2c6.jpeg

I was on in 4, Impact.  DA for the shot was 6k feet.  Wind was 4~6 from the right - that's MAGIC.  Cancels out the drift of a right-hand barrel twist.  Any distance.

16.9 mils for 1390 AGL, 6k DA - 0.5 mils high.  Hold UNDER 0.5 mils, bare miss, bare miss (don't chase it at a Mile...) - 4th round Impact.

Had a buddy go 0/10 on his gun, lent him MY gun - AND, my "HOT AMMO..."  already wind doped,  already dialed - he got on in 3, and declared himself the WINNER.  

I was on in 4, new environment.  He was on in (0/10 +3) with a dialed and wind=doped shot, given away for free-fiddy-free.

I won that one.  By far.  :popcorn::lmao:

I will leave him un-named, For now.  He might try to talk shiit and then I'll get into it.

Here's what the range owner said on his FacePage...  :thumbup:

"You set the standard for the Patriot Mile. I don’t think anyone else has a 4 shot impact. Next time you need to do a cold bore single
Shot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼"
 
For the record - the range owner never mentioned him getting on in 3 on his FB page after I smoked that 1776 n my 4th...  just handed over a dialed, wind-doped gun- that I had TOLD the dope / hold to before he got behind the gun.  Range Owner knew...  I made the shot - then just put another monkey behind the gun...  :lmao:

Yep, the WinMag.  225 ELD-M going 2932fps.  I've heard "that's too hot!..."  but I don't have ANY pressure signs at all.  the brass shows nothing, no bulging bases, nothing.  Perfect primers.

It's the RL-22 powder, is what it is.  It's acceptable for a WinMag and that projo - but it's a faster powder.

That afternoon, at 6k DA, it was 2912~2917 fps.  Might be time to clean the barrel...   :lmao:

@Magwa has an appointment...

I talked to the range owner today, and @Magwa will be shooting the Patriot Mile outside of Kingman, AZ, on Saturday, November 8th.  The Saturday before the Fall Shoot.  

Get after it, brother.  :thumbup::hail:

Hit it.  Earn it.  I know you will, too...
