Title: 1 MILE
Post by: Come Get Some on June 25, 2020, 07:18:48 PM: I went to Montana last weekend and was able to shoot my Hells Canyon 28 Nosler at a steel plate at a mile. The elevation and temperature were different than the site in info. I did not have enough clicks to aim directly at the steel. With a 3.5-4.5 MPH wind right to left it took me 4 shots to hit the steel. That was a poke. I am shooting a 195 Gr berger bullet.

Maybe a new caliber? Rainbows are find for some but not long range shooters.

They are all rainbows at a mile! Even 338 Lapua drops over 50 feet !

Congrats! 28N is a great caliber! what were your holds?

I don’t know if it works at a mile? But at 1000 yards phone scope adapter with spotting scope works well.

worst part about the target cameras is you need to go set up at the target first. I like to practice like I would shoot in the field. Set up on a spot. Find a rock, range dial squeeze. Then find a farther rock and repeat. Jmo
