.243 520 yards? YUUUUUUP!
« on: October 13, 2013, 07:46:02 PM »
Little sister flat out hammered this joker at 520 yards with my custom .243 shooting 95gn Berger VLD'S scope is a 6.5-20 Leupold with a custom turret matched to my load. Im sure im gonna get bashed but bash away I know what this gun and shooter was capable of and the Berger bullet performed flawlessly.






offside shoulder was absolutely demolished.

Great job...I tell people all the time that there are a thousand different long range rifles, but they don't make the owner long range shooters...That kinda skill comes with practice..again great job

It's not the gun in most cases, it's the shooter.  .243 will take down most game.  The best part about it is you do't get retinal detachment from it as it won't donkey kick you.

I wasn't a big fan of long shots on deer with a .243 until I bought one for my daughter and took the head off of a coyote at 500 yards with it.  Now it is my favorite reach- out coyote gun.  Great gun and great shooting from your sister!  Congrats to her!

That is fantastic! Congrats to you both. I once saw a video of a 1243 yard one shot kill with a coyote and a 243! It rocks. Congrats again! :tup:
