Gday Everyone,
I thought Id post a couple of pics from my first attempt at long(er) range shooting from the weekend just gone.
We headed down to a friends property to setup some new rifles and do some hunting. While I was there I decided Id have a crack at a couple of longer range shots just to see how it went. This is where we were shooting from.

Range was 735m (800 yards) onto a 8 inch target with a 13km crosswind at sea level. I was shooting a Remington VTR 223 using a factory 69grn Sierra HPBT Match round.
I only shot 5 rounds at that distance as that's all the 69 match ammo I had left over from the day before.
This was the result

Overall I was pretty happy with the result. The first 3 were way off as my wind call was off the mark with the gusts, but I landed one in the end.
More practice is definitely required though.
Cheers
