    Precision bolt gun shot of the week - 1300 yards

    We have this little piece of steel that sits on the hill by our regular 1300 yard targets. We sling a shot or two at it when the conditions are good, but we've never put a bullet on it until Sunday. Pappabear smacked it on the first try after hitting the regular gongs. 208 ELD out of the 300 Win Mag.



    Here's the piece from another week when it was white.

    Thats awesome! Shooting those kinds of distances is a whole different world of shooting. So far my longest shot has been 1084 yards with my 308..running Berger 168 hybrids with 44.0 grns of Varget.

    Nice.

    The combination of skill and luck are hard to beat.
    Well done.

    Yes, both are required to make that hit, I might add persistence and stupidity to that list.

    Man oh man, we have danced around that little piece of steel so many times. And pushed it all over that hill. Im guessing we spent $200,000 in ammo trying to hit it. If we make consistent pops on the gong and we think we know the wind, we give it a whirl.

    Our range is something special, we used to carry about 4 pieces of steel on a two wheeler out to 1,000 yards, leave the two wheeler out there and pick it all up after shooting EVERY WEEK. Now we have steel at 1-2-3-5-6-750-9-1K & 1,300. Plus have the MGM challenge rack at 25 yards for AR15 work and pistol stuff. We thank our lucky stars every time we go out.
