   that is good shooting but everyone must know you cant shoot at animals at that distance.  I am not saying you are doing anything wrong in the least.  I am thinking about the hunters.  I have seen hunters shoot at an animal at 4 or 500 yards and if it did not fall over they would walk away.  totally dumb..  again I am not saying you are wrong in any way.  I have blasted away at targets 600 yards before just to see if I could hit it.     again  good shooting,   mike w
what does hunting animals at that range have anything to do with his post?
That is some great shooting.  :tup:

I will be the oddball!!! it's a good old 6.8x64, AKA 270 Winchester.

The spreadsheet is a modified Pesja Ballistics Excel spreadsheet in which I changed to suit my needs, added a few additional calculations for Spin, Cor, Eotvos and put it on my Work Crackberry.

So what you're saying is that I need to stop thinking about getting a R Bros rifle and just buy the thing!  I've never shot steel that far out, but even a 1,000 yds still makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.  Gotta find some time and get out past a 1,000 soon.

Nice shooting Jim!

Hopefully I can make the match.  Was checking my rifle for the Aoudad hunt in a couple weeks and she is ready.  Wasn't a mile but did do very well going 5 for 5 on clay pigeons at 1013.

Every once in a while a blind nut finds a squirrel :chuckle:

Is that something like a gun having a loose nut behind the buttplate?   :chuckle:  :chuckle:

That's really impressive with yesterday's winds!  Also, I really like that I can see my roof in your second picture!
