    450 yards the other day. Down at the lease where I shoot, there are some helium tanks at the bend in the river. Probably held about 12" high with my 11.5" SBR.

    ONLY 12" of holdover? From a short barrel? Who needs a BDC then...

    638 Yards by LRF at Storm Mountain Training Center, 16" bbl, Win 55grain soft points. Position was prone with mag on ground. 2MOA aimpoint. Target was an iron maiden...steel man sized silhouette.

    I don't remember how many shots it took to get the proper hold over. Once we figured it out, I could hit it better than half the time.

    Consistant hits at 500 yrds on 14" wide moving and bobbing target. Gusts up to 15 crossing from left. Prone unsupported but resting mag. At Tiger Vally on the 1000 yrd range last month. LMT with a 16" Mike Rock barrel and a Short Dot LE.

    Interesting thread on TOS. I won't link to it since I'm banned there. But here is an interesting exerpt:

    Gunfighter- I train people for a living. Mostly Mil. The Marines i work with despise- to a man- the RCO.
    Let's look at this from a more useful perspective.
    The RCO requires training- a fair amount of it. It is not often given, and when so, sometimes incorrect- as was the case in CamPen last month.

    Within 50m, the RCO is at a disadvantage. I watched that (again) this week when a group of very skilled instructors- and some serious lifetakers- using RCO's were unable to keep up with others who mainly sported RDS.
    That you may shoot well with it is irrelevant. It is whether the L/Cpl can.

    The RCO POI states that before entering a structure, you should wait 10 minutes for the xxoptic xx(CORRECTION) eyes to acclimate to the dark as the reticle is faint.
    Terrific.
    Guidance in theatre is that it has to be re zeroed every 30 days.
    I own two. I shoot them, though not often as they do not fill the mission requirements as well as an Aimpoint, Short Dot, EOTech and possible other optics do.

    The Aimpoint is easier to teach. Easier to use, and fully capable out to the max realistic range of the M4A1, and further with the 3x magnifier.
    And it can do it for a whole lot less.
    The RCO would be more useful as issued one per Fire Team or one per squad.

    Re challenging anyone. I realize the the errornet is similar to beer balls. Cute, but i just spent 36 hours this past weekend shooting 2400rds of 5.56x45 ball doing exactly that.
    I'll stand by my statement, based on my experience.
