The long range cold bore shot project

[Jonathan_S]

He speaks the truth. And the "misses" were within a whisper.

I smacked 3 chicken cut out silhouettes at 988 this afternoon in 6 shots....
no videos but 2 other members witnessed it. coop2424 and Jonathan_s were there.
Told them I'd only shoot at each 2 times and once I missed one 2 times I'm done.
This was with my 6.5-284
For scale these are standard hi power silhouettes....not sure of exact dimensions but well under moa.
This was also the first shots out of my rifle today... no sighters

Was a little upsetting to see the chickens go down but his face made up for it..  If they would of been moa targets it would of been better than 3 in 6 shots since misses were inches/inch from the chickens.

No video, no hits! 

Assuming that it really happened though, that's good shooting. Did either of you spotters try a couple shots too?

I have a cold bore.....kinda cold bore......shot to either enter into the contest or simply brag about.

460 S&W XVR, Iron Sights.
260 gr Fusion factory ammo, Box says 1600fps at the muzzle
Location was Marysville Rifle Range
1-7-17, Witness was Seth Bullock of Titan Firearms and two random people
Range 250 yards. Target was appox 12x12 steel plate

Now...there is a "but" in the entry of this shot. I'll tell the tale. Went out with Seth to shoot my new 308AR build and it shoots lights out, love it. They have steel at 250 and it is almost simple to hit it shot after shot. I had brought my new 460 along so he could touch it off a few times. Before today I've got 8 shots down the pipe. Anyway, we were wrapping up and I made the comment that after I get my scope in I'd like to try to hit steel that far out. He suggested I try without it. Why not? Grabbed gun and the ammo and we got it ready to go. He was behind me, I was shooting from a bench with the run resting on the sandbag. Fired my first round and he said oh man you just missed by inches, shoot again. I put one more in, let fly, and kapow the steel rang out. We both gave a whoop and the two people that saw it were impressed. Heck, I was very impressed! So....was it cold bore? It was my 2nd shot but c'mon....it was only my 10th shot out of the gun ever! Yeah, it was fairly lucky to hit it but I did. Hit it good!

Non-scoped revolver at 250 - if I even scared what I was shooting at in that situation I'd be happy. Good shot!

Bet it was a big ol clang too

I guess we can let that one slide. Now you need to do it consistently!

[h20hunter]

I do not believe i saw anywhere about repetition?

right!  It's like the guy with the 1/2 moa gun.  They had two bullet holes touching one time so by God its legit half minute gun 

[h20hunter]

Works for me!!!! Scoped, i can repeat the feat, iron sights....meh maybe but for sure not with consistent accuracy.
