We need to start a 1.5 mile club. Seems like yesterday when hitting the mile was a dream. Now, the mile doesn`t have quite the ring it used to. Lets see how many has hit 1.5 miles to thin out the crowd.
- Thread starter excaliber
- Start date
Does an M-2 count somewhere in the middle of the 2nd belt? 
That is a long ways out. That is 2640 yards. Not me, yet.
2018 yards is the farthest for me so far. Maybe a 2K + group as the 1.5 mile group may be pretty small. Even the 2K group will probably be fairly small.
2200 is my farthest to date. I would like to go farther in the near future. maybe 2500 or 2700.
2400yds is the farthest ive taken my 7mm saum out to. It was tough, but manged to ring the steel a few times.
Id like to give 1.5 miles a try one of these days.

What magnification are yall using to get out that far?
5.5-22x56 NF on 22x
"ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ"
"ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ"
I was using a bushnell dmr 3-21 at the time at 15x . Once my barrel heats up 15x is about all i could go.
Ive since replaced it with a uso 5-25 tpal, but haven't taken it past 2000yds yet.
5-20x50 Razor - EBR-3
338LM Barrett
H1000 and 300 gr. Scenars

My best is 8 out of 10 hits at 2700 yards on a 30" target
N. Young was the shooter, I was the spotter at 3080 yards where he shot a 24" vertical group for 8 shots.
These were shot with a DTA HTI in 375 Cheytac with a Vortex Razor and Desert Munitions ammo.
We are going for 2 miles, 3520 yards this year.

Damn............
2 miles?!?! That is insane. I don't have anywhere I can shoot a mile and you all are going for 2 miles? Wow.
Thats a long ways out. Ive shot 2200 and that is already pushing it. I also back the idea of 2k+ being more realistic than 1.5 miles
People like to bag on the west coast, but we've got all the BLM land to shoot as far as you want
2 miles. Shit, give the board enough of a heads up, and I'll fly out to see that.

Hell yes to that!
I'll be moving to Wapiti by this May. I too have a 375 that I shot 1800 yard and do very well. I'll need new shooting friends.
I have a 60 moa base....might need more. My scope is a N.F. The barrel is a Lawton....I never met the man.but..he was always very good to me.
Thanks for any help

hope the pic uploaded. this was us shooting with outrageous advantures outfitters in mobridge s.d. 300wsm, 210 bergers, bat action, 10x60 march scope. distance was 3642 yrds at pdog. with good wind, 90% of the shots hit the mound. no kills, but we sure as hell scared a few. on a side note, we had 313 moa dialed into the mount/scope. hope you like 
this was us the previous you. 300wsm, 210 bergers, rem action, kreiger, 10x60 march. distance on that day was 3562yrds. i know is more on the benchrest type setup, but none the less, 3500+ shooting is still a long way off. again with kerry at outragious adventures in s. dakota. my longest confirm kill on a pdog is 2217yrds. all distances were measured with two seperate garmin gps's Last edited:
No and yes.
Well, at 2700 yards you can here a hit on steel if it is calm and you are paying attention...... Much easier to use the spotter to confirm.
I can run it just shy of 5 minutes, but am really catching my breath afterwards.
I envy those who can even try to shoot that far - my longest option is 1400m, and that is already a 6 hour drive and out of state...

Hah! Miles or kilometers, who´d care for the difference

OK, we are talking 1.5 miles.
Just had to verify.
Went out with a buddy and a pair of 7mm saums the other day to try our luck at 1.5 miles
Fairly calm, winds were switching directions (2-5 mph)
Target was 2ft by 3ft
My buddy had 4 impacts and I had 3. We were stoked just to get the first one, and with the electronic muffs we could hear them with no problems.
34-35 mils was our elevation.

That my freind is impressive! I think I viewed a video on here of you shooting 1 mile, impressive also.
I'm on my third saum, my first one ran a 180 Berger hybrid at 3160 fps, I had no problems getting to 1850, but I launched a few at 2k, and was quite a failure at it. I never could spot the impact, and it wasn't optic quality either. More so the vegitation around the target.
You have a slight advantage in the desert atmosphere, bieng able to spot a miss, but I had quite a elevation and speed advantage. So I just deemed it impossible, rethinking as I type.
Crunching my numbers, with an inflated bc at distance, I'll go subsonic at 2150, with 3040 fps, so your bullet makes it through all that relatively well.
OK, let's make it the 2K Club. What will be the cost of admission? Any witnessed hit on any target no matter how many tries?
My suggestion: Hit within three rounds on a 24"x36" target or smaller. Video proof earns membersip. And can't be from a bench.
We can come up with a cool patch for those willing to do what it takes. Any graphic artists out there?

Rather than hijack this thread, we should start a new one, let's call it,'Guys with little penis's that can only get to 2K"
I'm in, with the hit anyway, no vid, but witnesses.
Thanks Milo
we were surprised how well they did too
My Ballistic calc tells me they were going around 800-850 at that point. We took a picture of the target and all were solid impacts(no keyholes or tumblers)
We've got a patch in the mountain that's all sand, so the misses are very easy to spot and make adjustments
I was kicking myself for pulling my uso 5-25 off the saum, i was using an hdmr and the heat from the barrel and the glass make it tough that far away. Not to mention having to hold over 9 to mils lol!

I'm so ready to get out there. Around here, you can barely even look 1K in any direction before you see someone's house or bubba's damn deer lease.
Thats true...you west coast boys sure have some fine places to play
What would one consider as entrance to the club? Hitting any target at that distance? Some level of competency at that distance? I like the idea, but 2640 is a damn long ways, and to really be "in the club" some guidelines would need to be established.
Just a thought,

2MOA targets? I mean I bet I can tag a barn with my .308 at 2 miles eventually.
Your SAUM is awesome , shooting it at a mile was like shooting a .308 at 900 yards; once you are on, it's impact after impact. I have been swapping scopes on my rifles, keeps me out of the game for now, I have to go to Jean to redo my dope for each rifle.
I had fun shooting your 7mm and 6.5 Creedmoor at BRPC; can't wait t'il Mark get his new SAC 338LM, we'll check it out at spot #2 (in a few months).
See you next time.
Good shooting.

Likely a newbie question but why is scope magnification impacted by barrel temperature?
Mirage distorts and displaces the viewing image. Makes it look like magnifying a low resolution photograph sure the image gets bigger but the detail doesn't improve and it looks like a blurry mess.
1.5 miles would be fun as all hell, I hit a mile with my old 260 and it was a stretch. Mirage was pretty bad and I had my NF backed down to 9 just to half ass see the target which was a full size ipsc target. Managed to put 6 on it, measuring 10x14. I shot 15 rounds total on that set so averaged 40% hits, but hell it was a 20" 260 and my first time trying I'll take it lol.
Need to work up loads for my 280ai and 338lm so I can go out further.
I do agree some guidelines would be good, 1moa target? 2 moa?

I'd have to go out of state to do that! only place i can think of you can see that far around here is across a lake or down a highway. I'm guessing shooting down either is frowned upon
I'd have to go out of state to do that! not in the budget right now
I would love to when I get my rig back from pacnor but the longest range i have access to is 600. Its pretty tough in minnesota. If anyone has any suggestions within about 4 hours of duluth It would be much appreciated.
