The long range cold bore shot project

[Magnum_Willys]

Why the heck am I not seeing anything in that video ?  I see the moth flying but no shot.  Blind ?

If yoiu're talking about jasnt's video, the "moth" is a bird downrange after the shot. Shot comes from top right corner of the screen.

Ok see it now ! thx.

I'm just amazed that you can see the projectile. Err, I mean bullet!

Come on man, get it right!

I think having the sun to my back is why you can see it.

Little cold bore practice this afternoon.  I think it’s time to replace the chains on the 735 yard target. Light duty dog chain just isn’t cutting it

I kind of left my own topic for dead, so here's a submission. In case nobody else was out and about today, the conditions were terrible! The fog and rain rolled in as soon as I got set up so the video quality is pretty bad. The target is a cluster of rocks at 725 yards that's 12" from top to bottom and forms almost a triangle; the rock at the top of the triangle is about 6" tall.

I'm testing a new load in the 338/375 Striker and this is the first shot after zeroing at 100 yards. I decided to try the 230gr Hornady ELD-x to see if I can gain a couple fps by dropping down a bit in bullet weight. I typically shoot a 250gr bullet at about 2750 fps so I gained 100 fps with this load. I'm also testing out the RWS 8x68s brass with this load, so I'll have to try and work up to the same velocity using 375 Ruger brass to see what the difference in charge weight is between the two cases.

Nice shooting. Only nice thing about fog is you can see what the wind is doing...

Made it out yesterday morning and back to backed 2, 1 gallon milk jugs at 600, after the fog cleared of course.

Proceeded to practice long range hunting scenario shots out to 400 off shooting sticks, stumps, knees, etc... was great practice. Finished the day with a boiler room shot at 425 off shooting sticks. Felt good. Everything but my shoulder anyway.

Went to my fav half mile spot today looking for grouse. Only thing I got was a bunch of 6-8” rocks set up to shoot at a later date. Got a good spot picked out to shoot 1700 yards.  Looking forward to busting rocks latter this year after notching a tag

I did the same thing yesterday, and actually got a grouse at 225 yards with the 338/375 Striker. I didn't want to ruin it by going for a body shot so I got the great idea to shoot the rocks in front of it, hoping that the rocks would kick up and pepper the bird like buckshot. It actually worked!

All my hunting stories suck now.

Just repaired the trigger on an old Wards Western Field 22lr (open site) and after sighting in at 100 and seeing how well it shot I decided to stretch it out.   Had an old trash can set out at 282 yards I shoot at with my 9mm.  After hitting it a few times I decided I better go grab the phone scope to see how I was doing.  This is my 7th shot at the can but about 20 min later

Nice,
I shoot them with my 300WM all the time. Just put it next to their head the shock will stun them. And if you are real good, you just take the head off. They do get a bit messy if you underestimate your range though.
