Shooting at 3/4 mile today
« on: March 03, 2013, 07:02:52 PM »
We were setting up for our upcoming precision rifle match and needed to go through the paces.
With winds gusting from 8-25mph Alan and Monte tried to get on steel  out to 1340 yards.
Alan was the only one that could ring the 1340 target.
Monte was shooting his 6.5 Creedmore with 123 MK's and Alan was shooting his Rbros built 260 Rem with 142 MK's.
I'll make it over in the  next day or two and hit it with my Rbros built 6.5X47Lapua with 130 Berger's.
Here Joe is trying a 308 at a 650 yard target, with the 1340 off in the distance.

Yup, but that's where our target system and great optics come in to play.
The target has just the right amount of movement to show a hit even with the medium 6.5's.

Glad to see the wind cooperated!  Last weekend at Jakes match we had nice 10-37mph winds.  Was interesting...especially for Jesse shooting a 308.
