Thanks much for this thread!! I picked up some of the Black hills 77 grain last weekend and am excited to try them out in my Noveske. Keep up the good work!!

1300 is ridiculous. Nice shooting and spotting. I bet that was fun!

Reminiscent of Billy Dixon's shot at Adobe Walls.
Don't think I'll be slapping my ass and taunting you from my pony at that distance.

Salty.

I really think atmospheric conditions must have been perfect. Because I hit the 1,300 yard gong with my LMT MWS with MEN 147g surplus ammo. Now with SMK's , good but no big deal. It's good surplus ammo but we both busted out laughing. The other thing, in both scenarios, the misses were right around the target.

Usually when your way out of range, you see hits 25 yards apart. Mother Nature smiled upon shooters on this day.

Well, being good AND lucky is a formidable combination.

This was impressive because MEN 7.62 ammo is loaded much milder than XM180 and is a load that, AT BEST, would be realistically shot out to 600 yards.

We haven't. When you can load your own, it's not often that you buy very many factory loads. If I saw some of the options locally, I'd pick up a box or two to play with. Oddly enough.. I hate going into gun stores.

So, it's 'not just me" !!!!!

Nope. There's one good store here in AZ.... Merchant Firearms. Other than that... Forget it.

We got some good video of the 69s at 500 yards yesterday. We'll figger a way to upload them this week.

I got back on the 69 gr TMKs today with Pappabear's 5R bolt gun (20" barrel). At 500 yards, the come up is 2.8 mils. Our 77 gr OTM house load and our 175 gr .308 load is 3.5 mils. A .7 mil gain at 500 yards is remarkable. This round is Black Hills hidden gem.
