If we push from the 609 shelf, out to the old 1,000 target from the Tank, it's 1.44 miles, 2534 yards... Trajectory well south of camp, the camp is the red circle below...

Gun Pusher is having that same dilemma with his 375 Cheytac. Bad ass rig, but DAMN it's hungry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't know if I can afford the ammo. https://grabagun.com/savage-110-precision-flat-dark-earth-338-lapua-24-barrel-5-rounds.html I was loading Hornady 285s into the 338LM for about $1.90 a shot. It's 90 grains of powder, so you only get about 75 rounds loaded per pound of powder. I want a Barrett MRAD, but I'm looking hard at the Savage 110 Precision Elite right now. Model 57562.

I'll have to come up with a unique name for the new gun On 2/5/2024 at 6:45 AM, JBMatt said: @Cunuckgaucho I approve of 7PRC, for sure! I don't have much experience with 7mm projectiles, but all the math I've seen there's a strong argument that its the "perfect" bullet. I have a 33" barrel blank in 7mm that I'm trying to figure out what I want to have it chambered in. 7PRC is on my short list along with 7 SAUM and 7 WSM. Build that thing and help me make up my mind! I suspect after the spring shoot I'll be jonesing for something a bit extra so there is a good chance of a 7PRC for fallshoot On 2/5/2024 at 8:05 PM, 98Z5V said: I'm not instigating...

Rsquared Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 This is why I got the conversion kit for my MRAD. So I can run either 338 LM or 300 WinMag, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna be so far beyond what a Win Mag can do, soon, that you'll just piss yourself off if you change it, then have to change it back to .338...

98Z5V Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 We're gonna run the Win Mag until it can't hit anymore... We have the distance, so we're gonna push that fuqr until it can't go any more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Just some target sizes for refrence Target size/distance at Canadian King of the 2 Mile match. Held in September and hosted by Rob Furlong(Canadian sniper set record during Operation Anaconda ) Held at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico, 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMatt Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 We started with a standard IPSC for the mile, as that was the only "big" target we had. Now we're running a 24x36 out there. We'll use that for 2,000 and I'll have a 30" circle made for the mile by the time the Fall Shoot gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 Headed out next weekend, to shake out @JBMatt's final load on his .300 Win Mag. Wish us luck - that we don't suck! It's already in the bag - it'll just be better. Less dial, less effort, less... everything. The dope is already there, proven, so this is gonna be MORE FUN!!!

98Z5V Posted February 29 Author Report Share Posted February 29 I'm pushing for more distance next weekend, at least 2,200 yards. We will see if I can sway him, and get him to walk just a little bit further up that hill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMatt Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Well, this weekend wasn't as successful as our last attempts at the 2K. In our defense, the wind was a lil crazy. From 0 mph to 10-15, from most all the directions. Very switchy, very gusty. The wind tape was wrapped around the t-posts a dozen times. Lol This impact was on shot 11. Chasing the wind all over the place. A little bit o luck played a part, I'm sure. @98Z5V and Karen both flung at it without impacts. Both of them were all over it. Quite a few misses less than a foot off plate. It was spicy! We'll be ready to go again here in a couple weeks. I'll work on the load and try to get the SD's into single digits. Right now they're averaging 12 running 2,880 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted March 5 Author Report Share Posted March 5 My big revelation for the weekend was seeing a 14.5" 5.56 Carbine running first-round impacts at 450 and 600 yards. WITH A RED DOT. 75gr loads were going 2703fps out of that thing. From a 14.5"!!! It was a spectacle to see, that's for damn sure. That 2k was a motherfucker. Well, the wind was. I hope it's not like that in a couple weeks, because that was rough. It wasn't frustrating - it was eye-opening, with all that wind in so many different directions. I was spotting most of it, seeing wind coming at us from the target streamers - good, don't have to account for that. However, somewhere between the platform, and the target, the mirage was straight horizontal. You know that's 10mph. Then it would disappear - that's the FUK YOU! wind... north of 12mph. Then it would come right back, flat waves... It was nuts. But great! On the plus side of all that... 2,250 yards is plotted out. We have the location.
