I've been trying to take 3 shots at 1100 yards about once or twice a week. I'm trying to learn how to read wind just by feel not using anything other than what's around. Weeds, leafs, dust, mirage (if any). I must say this is a lesson of patients. For me it's hard but I'm gaining. Here's my 3 shot group for the week. It's just under 6 inches. I was happy with this group. I'm sure I could have taken down bear or moose if the opportunity would have presented its self. Guess I need to move not many bear in south east Missouri.

Load
Lapua brass
H1000@ 86 grains
Velocity 2740 (not verified by crono)
Bullet: 300 grn burger otm. (Great at distance)
Seated .020 off lands. I must single feed these. They won't fit in my cip mag.

Elevation 9 mills
Wind at the time was from the Left to right. Dialed .9 left windage. I'm thinking I need to recheck at 100. Wind was minimal I'm thinking 3 to 4 at max.
 
Nice group there! I need to see what I group at that far out. I'm thinking you velocity might be a little lower, I run 90gr h1000 with the 300gr bergers in a 26" barrel and get 2740 fps. Nice shooting!
