From 1325 yards.


Went out last night and set up a few milk jugs full of colored water at 1325:

I'm shooting to the northwest, and it didn't take long for the setting sun to make it almost impossible to spot my shots. I managed to run several rounds through the 6x47 Lapua, executing some of the jugs, before deciding to pull the pin:

So this AM, I'm back out finishing the dirty deed.

They never suspected a thing coming from the distant lone tree:

I'm out of targets now. I threw away a bunch a while back as I was tired of side stepping around them. Now I want 'em....

Aalf, what bullet are you shooting in the 6X47?

Ever recover a bullet at that range to see if they are opening up at all?

I'm shooting pointed Berger 105 Hybrids at 3125. BC is coming in at around .585.

Interestingly, this barrel is a four groove Krieger with the Hybrids, my other 8 twist is a 5R Rock shooting 105 Berger VLD's, and the accuracy load for both barrels is exactly the same using H-4350.

Someone looking to do a 6 mm, this is the answer.

I haven't, but based on the damage, they are opening up some. I did find a piece of lead in one jug, but most likely came from a short shot.

Pretty cool, Al.

Through the cows, over the barn, under the wires - nothing but milk jug. grin

I may have to accompany you one of these days. Though I'm more likely to aerate that lawn 100 ft from the jugs than I am to water it like you do.

Anytime Scott, we'll just shoo those moo cows outta the away.

Although the first shot from you should have them scurrying for cover....... grin

Did you decide if the pointy-maker-thingy is worthwhile?

Nice.

Those power lines look like they might be kind of close to the bullet path, but hard to really tell in the pics.

Definitely.

I forgot, till after the fact, that I had loaded up some that had not been pointed, so I could have done a valid side by side test.

Next time.....

It's deceiving in the pic, but the power lines are a little further up the hill from the jugs, so no worries.

In the past, I have moved the targets way up the hill, and I moved back on the neighbor's property to 1925 yards, and I shoot over the lines. smile

The three in the middle are all McMillan Win Marksman patterns.

I've been shooting Dashers for over ten years, and have probably had over twenty guns and/or barrels chambered in it. I shoot 1K BR, and both guns shoot the Dasher exclusively.

You could say I'm a fan....
