I've played around at 1000 yds with my previous stock tikka T3 lite many times and had a bunch of fun. The biggest problem I encountered was my fixed 10 power SS scope I have was lacking in spotting hits at 1000 yds. Basically I was playing on the cheap and couldn't really justify spending the dollars for a more expensive scope. Since I'm making an upgrade I'm now ready to spend some money on some glass. So, what scopes have you guys used that will spot hits with a 6.5 sized bullet at 1000 yds? What bullets have you had the best results with? I always liked the 147 eld. I'm looking to enter a few competitions just for fun so I am willing to spend whatever it takes to do so in a realistic way.

Post something productive and informative. You get the Hint? BSA had the best reply yet. Thanks for that bud. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I have exactly 105 round down the tube now and the shooting system is showing some promise. We played around at 100 yds with RL 23 and 140 eldms with small rifle 6.5 creedmoor Lapua brass with CCI450 primers. I haven't had all that much time for playing so really haven't experimented with more powders, bullet combos like I want to but eventually will get to that point. This is how reloads have gone so far............The rifle put shots 7,8,9 in one raged hole! I bumped around a bit to get an idea of where I was and than went back to the same load only a different seating depth that was landing on a better seating node and one ragged hole again. 26 rounds down the tube at this point and back yard load data was close enouph so I spent the next week going to the range and playing around at 500 yds. I don't figure a barrel is broke in until at least 100 rounds so I really don't get to excited about what's happening I just want rounds down the tube at this point! I started with a 3 shot group at 500 yds that looked to be an 1" and a quarterish. I than moved on to some 5 shot groups thru the week with frequent barrel cleaning and shooting in some windy conditions. Nothing was overly impressive although nothing was over 3" groups either. I really wasn't to worried since I was breaking the barrel in terms of getting it to settle in velocity wise. I made a small adjustment on my load dropping a 10th of a grain and proceeded to shoot a 10 shot group at 500yds with 8 rounds being inside a 2" circle and two flyers. I attributed the fliers to some exessive runout around 7 thou on a few rounds and it may have needed a good cleaning. I came home, cleaned the rifle, and loaded up 5 more rounds with another small adjustment in dies dropping runout the 2 thou or less. I shot 5 in about a .3 ish group. I haven't physically measured because well I guess I don't get hung up on exact measurements this early on. Not saying its right its just what I do. I loaded up 50 rounds and this morning will be headed out to stretch it out to 1000 yds on steel. We shoot a 12" square steel plate and the fellas I shoot with usually play a game where you basically see who can get the most hits in a row. The wind can blow pretty good where we shoot so at times it can be a challenge. I'm excited and hoping for a great session this morning. Should be fun Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

OP Trystan Campfire Regular T Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 1,688	Had some mixed results at 1015 yds today. I started by putting the first 5 rounds of the 6.5 creedmoor 140 elds on a 12X12 inch steel plate with 4 of the 5 rounds in a 5" group with one flier....ish. &&! My shooting partner put 4 out of 5 on steel with his 338 lapua improved however the wind started blowing by the time he started shooting and the sun peeked thru the clouds picking up mirage a bit! Not to mention he new his load was going to have a bit of verticle string because he didn't have time to load for the temps we were going to be shooting in so shot what he had. By my calculations he was outshooting me considering the wind and mirage he had to deal with. My next 5 shots were all misses!!! We finally came to the conclusion that my spotter had misspotted and was having me hold wind xxx&& incorrectly. I made my own adjustment, got on the plate again and put another 5 out of 5 on steel. Wind was starting to get with the program so packed up and went home. Fun day of shooting. I thought about inviting Big Stick but we didn't have any 3' steel plates to set up at 1000 yds for him! Big Stick......Big Target goes hand in hand whilst building his false sense of acomplishments! I would not have mentioned Stick but I figured mentioning at least one famous character makes the shooting story that much better Last edited by Trystan; 05/04/22.
