Long range for beginners

That's some shooting at 1000 yards!

Tested my new viper today and it tracks perfectly up to 30 moa so far I think it’s safe to say it tracks.  Now I wanna test all my scopes

I gotta get settled on a final load so I can back to shooting. Dang 1/2 moa not good enough gotta go for 1/3 moa.  Silly accuracy addiction !

i know how that goes but today I did the test with out shooting a round.  Set up my Weatherby on the bench secured on my bench rest.  Took my story pole out to my 100 yard target. Setup so my cross hairs where dead on the 4’ mark, dialed 30 min and I’m dead on 1’4.5”.  Dialed back to zero and back to 4’ dialed 30 again and right back to 1’ 4.5”

I recently started using applied ballistics on my phone. Purchased the cdc for my bullet and today went out to verify dope.   Worked very well on elevation out to 1515 yards with second round hit. First miss was wind call.  Verified drops at 980, 1028, 1380, and 1515 with first round hits at 1028 and 1380.  Pretty excited about the repeatable sub sonic results 4/5 shots at 1515yards.

I was hoping to get a solid 1” load at 300 yards before moving out to a 1000 yards but Im going to live with 1.5”’and see if it holds up at 1000 yards.  These 300 grainers give a pretty good pop so I  may be only a .5 moa shooter with em anyway.  I had the the ABM app so bought the custom drop info for $2 after seeing jasnts post (thk u) so will see how that compares to the sig rangefinder computer that uses the same author.

Nice shooting.  I purchased the cdc for the 250gr bergers I’ll be shooting as well

You shooting the 300 grain EH or OTM?  Have you tried jamming them?  Mine shoot best between 5 in and 3 off.  OTM would be 15 jam. And yes you can still eject a live round without losing bullet. I run .0025 neck tension.

Shooting the Smk.  I suspect I can do better with the eh close to the lands. Just leery of the big bergers not expanding.   Im am going to try em at a 1000 tho and see how they shoot.   I will try em at 300 from 5 jam to 5 jump and see how it looks.

Cool. I Really like dialing vs their reticle hold. Surprised their first shots were off by 50 ft plus. But thats a long ways!

i agree I’d rather dial as well tho most of the time I hold for wind

Has any one used these before? Thoughts?

Vxhd has led level light built in.
Not sure value out of scope. I can see my level with left eye while on scope.

[jasnt]

I like my cheap wheeler level just because I can see it very well. I picked up a lone star arm level for my Weatherby build and it’s much harder to see. Don’t think I’m going to like it   prob fine off the bench but in the field.....  Was recommended to these but they are spendy.  I don’t need digital but I do like the accuracy tolerances. Hoping some one has bit the bullet already and can give me their thoughts
