The rock is probably 12-13" across, so it's a pretty good size target. I'm pretty happy with the 3 shots before I adjusted the hold though especially for shooting sitting off of the sticks. It took 14 MOA to hit at 568 yards, so the drops actually track very close to a 308 with a 175 SMK. Next trip out I'll see about going to 750+ yards.
Anybody else do any long range shooting with unconventional guns or chamberings?

270 Speer spbt at around 2675 fps I was surprised how well it did.
What wasn’t so awesome was the fact that those rounds and my 260 partitions At 2700 shoot drastically different. 7-8 inches apart at 100 yards. Both sub moa tho.

It's kind of the other end of the spectrum, but I've often enjoyed plinking with a .22 pistol at "long range", i.e. mostly 150-300 yards but sometimes further. It's amazing how accurate an old Ruger MkI (or whatever) can be, considering.
I've burned a lot of ammo in my MkIII trying shots like that. I'd go out and shoot at my 10" gong until I could hit 10 out of to shots at a give range, then back up 10 yards. I made it out to 160 yards sitting and resting my elbows on my knees. I just never got any consistency past 160 yards no matter what ammo I tried.
I'm trying to get somebody to let me shoot the 375 in a local PRS match. I've been making fun of the PRS guys for shooting baby calibers so I just want to go shoot a match with a real gun. Then I'll just curl up and cry myself to sleep after shooting off 80 rounds from the 375. :chuckle:
