    We had targets from 390 to 1750 and everything in between. We started off with a coldbore 1000 yd shot for a "friendly bet" and then had two UKD targets (ended up being 390 and 575). We also had steel at 850, 1000, 1200, 1300 and 1750.

    It was a HUGE time! The supressed .50 still makes me giggle, especially watching the HEI bullets explode when they hit the target. I thought I was doing well with my puny .308 SPS at 1000 yds, until Snatcher went 7/8 at 1750 with his .243 in 15+ mph gusty, swirling wind. WOW!

    Yes he was shooting 115 DTAC's with HBN coating.

    He used my naked 115 Berger VLD's to go 8 out of 10 at 1300 yards wiht my 6 Rem 40X, 16 X Leupold Mark4 It was an amazing performance because we just dialed to previous dope and took the educated guestimate on the wind and center punched the steel man first round. I am confident as the spotter that one of the misses would have torn the individuals clothing! Yeah, that close!

    Great bullets need not be Monster class to reach out there.

    Yeah, Snatcher was in a zone that day. Wow.

    Im curious, what would happen if you were pulled over by a cop, and he asked what was in the trunk? Would you be like "Oh not much, just a suppressed fifty caliber rifle"

    I think as long as I wasn't across the Commiefornia line, I would be more than proud to show off a suppressed .50 cal rifle.

    Recoil was very manageable. I would say it was a heavy push against your shoulder and left me with no discomfort. I'd feel comfortable shooting it all day long as it was set up.

    It's about the same as with the McMillen break on it. Kind of a slow shove. No concusion which is very nice. No tylenol needed.

    looks like a Gladius to me... </div></div>

    762, Take a little extra time around SHOT and we can show you a good desert experience, if Chiller will allow.

    Gladius is running a Manners T2 I think, Chiller's rifle is pictured in a A5.

    Actually I was shooting JLK's 115s, great bullet! However I may go back to the DTACs as they are essentially Sierras and are easy to load for, the JLK's are not.

    Swan I like those jeans as I don't have to undue my pants to take a piss, I just pull it out the knee hole. LOL, actually too many of my jeans are torn up, I hate cloth shopping.
