Re: 1000 yard fun

I was shooting a .308Win, and we couldn't see the hits on a 12" diameter steel plate very well due to mirage and wind shaking the spotting scope. I thought I was missing, turned out I was hitting pretty well.
My bud shot his .50BMG, hit on the 4th round and knocked the target stand over, ending our day. I had something like 72" of wind to dope, and I think he had half that. Those high BC bullets are quite an advantage in the wind.
It's addicting, isn't it? I gotta get back out...
