This past weekend I hit 1000 yards for the first time. I used my Fulton Armory 24in 6.5 creedmoor Large frame AR. I was firing 140Grn Amax with 41.5grns of H4350. It took 9 millrads up hold to hit a 1000 yard up hill target at 16 power. I gues the steel plate must have been a few feet wide.
 
Congrats bud!!!

I can still remember my first hit at 1k. 40k later, I can still remember my first mile hit, and 2000.
 
That's great ! And ya can still hear the "ding" at that range even in the wind. Perfect. You're ruined now :)
 
Congratulations to you! I did the same thing this past summer at central virginia tactical. That was the best "ding" I've ever heard.

Well done!
 
I have had access to a 1000y range once. Was shooting a 24" .308 R700 using FGMM 175gr. Wind was so crazy out past 800y it was hard to dial corrections and I couldn't ever get consecutive hits. Was still a lot of fun.
