Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting First "Long Range" Setup

Good day today! Got my Retumbo load clocked. average of 3025 fps, out of my 24 inch tube.

I'm ecstatic about this speed, but I hadn't been really satisfied on how it grouped. I told myself I wasn't gonna worry about shooting at 100 yards anymore, but I decided to check my zero and shoot one last group. I was pleasantly suprised!

Not a one holer like you guys shoot, but I'm very happy with it.

So I went to another spot, and set up at about 610 yards. The wind up at 7350 was HOWLING, full value from my left to right. Most of my shots were using inbetween the first and second mil-dot for wind, and almost all of my misses were still right. But, I did sneak in about 5 hits, after the wind stopped kicking my azz. I ended up needing 9 MOA up at 610.


Again, not a SubMOA barn burner like some of you guys shoot, but for my first time at 600 and with the winds like that, I'm stoked!

This stuff is FUN!
