I got my BIG .50 Cal on Steel at 1,200 YARDS this morning, 3 Consecutive Hits on my 20” Plate 👍
The Video
My Rifle, Rice Barrel Co. 32” inch 1:24 Twist .50 Cal Barrel, In a TC Hawken Stock, Lee Shaver Long Range Soule Tang Sight, and Lee Shaver front sight (non adjustable) With Lee Shaver inserts
Bullets, I chose my 610 Grain BACO Grease Groove for this Shoot (Mold i had Made) I cast these of Certified 1-20 Alloy, Lubed with my “Modified“ Bullshop NASA Lube
Back when i Chronographed this Load
Ranged with my Leica 1600B Rangefinder, and Google Earth Shot in Yards, This is a TRUE 1,200 YARDS
A look from my Rifle, That is a VERY small Target with Open/Peep Sights for this Kind of Distance, My Entire Target (White Backing) is ONLY 3 Ft By 3Ft Square. My Steel Plate is 20 inch Square, 1/2” AR500 Plate, It weighs 60 Pounds
My 3 Consecutive Hits, Shots Number 3 & 4 are Very visible, 5th and Final Shot Just Cuts the Right side of the Plate
5th and final Shot up Close, Cuts the edge of the plate, exits the Cardboard Backing
What I could find of my Bullets, Even at 1,200 Yards They stil hit with SERIOUS authority!! They are Splattered to Pieces

Thank you Guy’s, This stuff is a LOT of fun to do. The BIG .50s Deserve to Play as well, They are every bit as capable as the .45s Long Range, They just require a Bit more MOA to get there, And punch the shoulder a might Harder 🙂

No, it is called a 17 Series Globe made by Lee Shaver, I also use lee Shaver inserts in the Globe 👍
This is my Sight Setup, Except the rifle in this 1,200 Yard shoot doesn’t have this adjustable windage front Sight, I have this adjustable Front on 1 of my .45s
This is the Front sight i have on the Rifle above, (.850 High) Lee Shaver 17 Series, with Spirit Level
And my inserts, These fit 17 Series Globes. I carry them in a Simple Fly Box

No, It is a Lee Shaver “Economy Grade” Long Range Soule sight for Muzzleloaders, with his Hadley Eye Cup. I have 2 of these, His “Super Grade” was my 1st one, and then his “Economy Grade” There are very little Differences in them, The Super Grade has a Little stiffer Spring Setup, Finished a little nicer, and comes with a Hadley Eye Cup. I switch the Hadley Eye Cup back n forth Between the 2 Sights 👍
LOL, fun stuff that sadly only a few will get to experience, breaking the shot, getting out of the rifle and into the spotter or binocular to see the bullet slam home is something that has to be experienced first hand, simply no way to accurately explain it.
