This was my first ever shots taken at 1000 yards. Its not the best group and i only hit 11 out of 15 but it was fun. My 14 month old is in pic for an idea of the scale.
-
oh i forgot. I'm shooting 140gr Berger VLD's out of a 6.5 creedmoor topped with Vortex Viper PST 6-24X50 second focal plane.

Nice job. I like the target too.
I just took a guy out on Sunday to shoot at 400 yards for the first time. He was happy to be hitting the 10" gong at 400. I've never had a chance to get past 750. It's too hard to find a place to shoot that far around here.

:tup:
Thats something i want to get into. How do you like the 6.5?
-
It is light on recoil and super accurate. Great BC's for bullets also. We are setting up a 1 mile range on the family farm. We had 14 lifesize animals cut and 7 gongs. The animals include rabbits, coyotes wolves, elk, moose, grizzly, cougar, pheasant, geese and ducks.

Wish I had that much space to shoot 1k yards. Good shooting though.

Sounds like an invite to me :chuckle:
I have no place to shoot more than couple hundred yards. :(
-
well, if it wasnt a private place Id have some shoot outs, Im pretty sure we could get to 13-1500 if we really wanted to

you guys could come to the long range shoots i put on, snowshoe22 has attended one and liked it. I have ideas for two shoots so far for this spring, just haven't picked a date yet for them. you can go to my website at www.sportsmanschallenge.weebly.com (http://www.sportsmanschallenge.weebly.com) and check out the past shoots, pictures, prizes ect. I got these going for guys to get more trigger time and get more proficient in their abilities before they go out and shoot at an animal or just to gain a fun way to compete and strive to shoot better.
check out the targets also
nice job snowshoe22, i like that cougar
-
I'll take some picks of the other animals as i get them up.
-
I'm no expert, but that looks like an absolutely awesome group for your first 1,000 yard shoot. :tup:
Thanks for sharing. I'll enjoy following this as you add targets.
-
Tagging along to see what comes along down the road,I also concur that looks to be some pretty good shootiing for a first ever whack at it. :tup:
-
Some of the other targets, Moose, Standing Bear, goose, duck, and rabbit.
-
The deer, wolves and some of the other targets are in the bottom of the pile. When i break out the backhoe i'll get more pics
-
How do you like the scope? I've been thinking about getting one for my 700 I'm looking at shooting 1000 yards as well.
-
I really like the viper PST's. This is the third one i have had. My first was a 4-16X it was a great scope but i wanted a little more power. The FFP was good too but i like the fine reticle in the SFP. The FFP got pretty coarse on the higher powers. I don't think you can go wrong with one. The adjustments are right every time and the glass is clear enough. The moa line on the reticle are dead nuts.
-
Snoeshoe22 that's awesome! I recently played at this range and my hats off to you ! I have been looking at the LRP in 243, but torn between the 6.5 creedmore. We are going out this weekend to practice some more now that I got my load dialed in. I am interested in your shoots. Sounds fun!
