Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting .308 at 1038 yards

Sorry guys I forgot my video camera today,

I took the load that shot the best at 207 yards and loaded some more up and took it right out to 1038 yards.
It took 8.6 mil to get there. The wind was blowing a bit, I dialed .3 mil and was still all over the target. But the elevation spread looks promising




These 155 SMK PALMA's are sitting in Winchester brass with a CCI 200 primer, being pushed with 46.5 gr Varget powder going 3030 FPS

Elevation that consistent says your load must be dialed in. What barrel length?

26 inch Remington 700 SPS Varmint

Clayne...that is some fine shooting...what kind load you using?

Win brass
CCI 200 primer
46.5 Varget
155 SMK Palma

loaded to fit an AI style mag

Good shooting! Looks like you have got your 308 and ammo dialed in.

thnaks, still need it to shoot ok ish at 1250ish yards

Yeah the 308 gets challenging past 1000 yards. I enjoy that challenge. On those near calm days, it can do pretty well.

Around here, elevation helps, and I'm guessing you being in Utah enjoy that too.

At the Icebreaker 3, We had the 308 on target at 1500 yards without too much drama. Target was roughly a 20" round steel flange. Wind was 15-25 mph, roughly half value, 2900 ft elevation. 208 AMax at 2600 fps, via RL17, and 22" bbl.

thanks for sharing
