yards

Looking for something I can use to practice on the cheap with my m1a. However I have resisted buying anything ugly like the PRVI or anything like that as I dont plink with my 308- too expensive. The cz 452 in 22lr is for that kind of relaxed practice. Currently using the 150 grain hornady FMJBT...

Went to the range today looking for the most accurate brand, turned out to be Lapua Midas M .25" at 50 yards. Took it to 100 and it wasnt even close. Had some Wolf that grouped .51" at 50 yards but shot the best at 100. I could actually see the rounds arc into the target at 100 yards thru the...

What is the minimum barrel length in a .308 bolt rifle that is necessary to reach 1000 yards using factory ammo ( most likely 168 SMK).

Guys, The forum is "Beyond 1000 yards". Please quit posting threads like "shooting to 1000 yards with a 23" barrel", "why no Rugers", etc. There are other places for these comments. Thanks

I haven't done any shooting over 100 yards, and currently have an unsighted scope. The range I just joined has the shorter rifle range closed for work, so the closest target is 250 yards. You cannot do any shooting there less than 250 yards right now. A 250 yard target is not that easy to see...

Lomaxmsu78 and I went and shot some last weekend. I managed to shoot one groups at 800 yards and 1000 yards. Then we moved back to 1200 yards and shot three groups. The mirage was rough at first but my last 1200 yard groups the mirage was gone. I was a lot of fun.. Maybe next time we will move...

I don't post here much, but I wanted to share the results of the zeroing of my Eliseo R5 match rifle (NRA HP "Across the Course"). I've had my Eliseo R5 Remington 700 in 6mmBR built since February, but haven't had the chance to shoot it beyond 200 yards until yesterday. Was able to bring it to...

Ok, I didn't really do that. Why is it acceptable practice to take shots at predators (fox, coyote, etc) at distances that don't ensure a clean kill, but it is considered unethical to shoot at a game animal such as a deer at long range? I respect a fox alot more than a lyme disease carrying...

Changed my rings. For the guys who are always asking where those sub 1moa.

I have just acquired a 308 Win with a 18" 1-10" twist barrel with very few shots down the tube. I have been asked to set the rifle up shoot up to 1,000 yards. I shoot a variety of 6.5 mm rifles out to 1,000 yards but do not have a lot of experience with the .308 Win so please excuse my...

This dot drill is a very humbling experience. I actually shot the target at it appears (I shot it sideways, instead if placing the target up & down). I did not take any zeroing shots, as I had shot the day before & the conditions were almost identical. After every shot I stood up and got back...

not the best but had some crazy winds, 10 inch steel at 1453 yards. using a gps to range, shooting a 208 gr. A-Max the 2 hits in a row was nice,need a better rest next time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTcAXsj--CQ

Maybe phearkno1 has a point....there IS something off about the pic.

At 2:31 pm MST at our local range this day (6/11/09) I finally reached the 8" x 10" - 3/16" thick gong at 200 yards. It was not with the rifle I thought I would have gotten there first with as I just decided to grab the lesser Lakefield MarkI that has a 3-7x20 BSA scope on it, and is zeroed in...

Will it work? The ballistic program said it will be moving at 1136.5 at 1000 yards, so it should work..... Unless I am missing something.

I got today and walked out side and figured it would be a great day to try my new pet load for my 10fp at 600 yards.80 degrees,sunny 1.4 avg. wind at 1/2 value,You know one of those days you can't blame the wind for flyer's.The load is a slug but the largest group out of 10 5 shot groups were...

Solve one of the debates a friend and I have been having. We've been arguing about what is a smart power range on your optic for engagements up to 400 yards. With my eyes, I always like higher magnification, he thinks 10x is sufficient for any job. I just threw a 3.5-15x50 Nightforce on a...

I got to thinking a few minutes ago, my Tasco 6-24x42 w/AO Target/Varmint scope has both the AO for Meters and Yards. I've only used the Yard settings but I'm thinking since I take my own target stand(s) to the Range, I might try setting them at Meters instead of Yards and see what happens with...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has tried using an IOR at 50 yards. I noticed sometimes I have a hard time focusing in on the recticle and the target at this distance. 100 yards is no issue at all. Was using this with a rimfire, and wanted to use it at 50, 100, and 200 yards.

I am reading a post over on predator master were some guys are arguing that a vld bullet can in fact not shoot all that great of a group at 100yards but shoot a great group at 300 or even further. One guy refers to the bullet as going to sleep, and once it does this it will shoot better. I have...
