The long range cold bore shot project

[jasnt]

I think the point of this thread was simply to get people out and shooting, pushing their personal limits with what ever you have. Grab a rifle or pistol and go push your limits and please share your results. Good luck to all

Sorry. I agree, I'm in a frustrating holding pattern waiting for my new rifle. I willl hold up until I have some real world data to share. Thanks for the reminder.

i understand the frustration, I too hate the wait. What are you getting and what's going on top.
I got out today and got a little shooting in but the visibility was only about 200 yards in the snow rain mix.

I have a new VX-3i 4.5-14 with CDS in a box under the tree right now ready to go on my 7 mag. Wife snagged the package before I could and made it off limits until Christmas.

Nothing fancy, should JUST get the 1,000 yard job done.

Stainless Vangaurd 7mm Rem Mag (been my favorite cartridge for almost 30 years)
MDT LSS Chassis
OuterImpact 20 MOA rail
Millett 6-25X56 35mm tube with lighted mil-dot reticle
Millett 35mm tactical scope rings
Harris fixed blued 6"-9" bipod
Harris fixed blued 9"-13" bipod
B-Squared stainless 9"-13" roto-swivel bipod
Magpul Pmag polymer 5 round magazines
Cheap Archangel AR padded buttstock
Hogue Monogrip finger groove pistol grip
Ergo A-2 pistol grip insert
Vortex anti-cant 35mm ring level

I hope it all works as was advertised.

I would ditch the chassis, buttstock and PG and pick up a used HS stock and upgrade the optic.

I'm loving this thread! It's making me amped to get out after the holidays and touch off some rounds. Hopefully I can figure out how to upload video on this site.

SO I had an Idea.... If we could get a .264 Dia. Hornady ELD-X 140 Gr bullet moving 3350FPS... What kind of non belted case would a fella need?

The 26 nosler would be close, the 6.5 Rum will do that easily.

what about making a 6.5 Barrett?

That's just crazy talk! Somewhere I have a 6.5 CheyTac case that I formed, I'll see if I can find it. The 6.5 RUM (or the 6.5 Badger) will go over 3350fps with a 160gr bullet. That's when it gets really fun!

Heres what i plan to take out for the LRCBP.

Any of you long range folks doing the "King of 2 miles" in New Mexico this year?

If I had the time I'd go. Maybe we need to see if there's enough local interest to arrange something similar here in WA. I'm pretty sure that the Bull Hill facility in Kettle Falls can accommodate 2 mile targets.

I'm working on getting my hands on a few of the 375 HE cases to play with in an attempt to come up with something that can beat all of the 375's that people are planning to run for next years shoot. The 375 Hubel Express is very similar to the 375 Lethal Mag that won last year, but it's designed by Ed Hubel (the designer of the parent case for the 375 Lethal Mag). The case capacity of the super 375s everyone is focused on is just too much for current powders. Neck it up to 416 or 458 though and everything changes.

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
