i have been long range shooting for a few years now and have taken some great shots and killed many different animals at 500 plus yards. I have had several rifles built up and have a couple that shoot better than others. Out of my best shooter i consistantly get 3/4/-1 inch groups at 300 yards and around 1.5-2 inch at 500 3-4.5 at 700, just curious how other rifles you guys have shoot at longer range. Meaning 3-5 shot grouping.

Depends on the day, and me. Most important is me. My rifles and ammo are up to it..and you`re talking a minute or less at those yardages. I`m not to interested in multiple shots, more where my first shot impacts. And that depends on me, and how I call conditions.

Forthyfour, If your talking long range groups I can show you pic's all day long as can many others here, shooting critters at long range is up to the shooter and what's happening that day. what ever they choose to do at any range is on them. Rio7 Five at 1200 yrds 4 at 1 mile 3 at 1000 yrds

My 1,000 meter shooting is normally ten rounds, been playing lately with a 244AI which is a really cool cartridge, but II have had a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on the same rifle that works very well too. Even the little 6mmBR will put ten into a 1MOA group with no problem. Most of the guys at my club that are running long range rifles have them braked and are shooting stuff like 7mm RUM, 300 RUM, 338 Lapua, etc. These guys are shooting some crazy groups with these rifles, bur their first round hits are at times phenomenal . watched one fella last week round first round hits from 600 to 1,000 with a Cadex 300 mag that were all absolute kill shots.

I can hit a deer a 629 yards with a 7mmRM 140 gr or 6.5-06 120 gr. I have made those two hail Mary shots with no wind.
I can miss a deer at 400 yards with a 270 130 gr with 15 mph cross wind.... but the second shot hit the heart.

Best NOT to infer Rio7’s groups as representative. They are superlative. If your can get .3 MOA you’re doing as well as any LR guy could hope for.

Have posted this target before, my best 10 shots at 1000 yards, cool morning, very little or no wind, 5 rounds, reload 5 more, never been able to match it again, wind or weather have never been as favorable, Rio7

JPro, Retumbo, it works, very well with no pressure signs in my rifle, start small and work up, to be safe. Rio7

Note to self:
Make sure Rio is on your side when the shooting starts!
