I have been an avid reloader and long range shooter for about 3 years now but I have never had the opportunity to shoot past 800 yards. Well, today I went to my 500 yard range and met up with my boss (hunting partner} and he decided FINALLY to let me set up a 24x24" ar 500 plate at 1k. Reason we don't shoot more there is because it is an operating catfish farm and there's always a chance somebody could be in the area. Today we called, made sure, and nobody was there. Well, like a good Mississippi chap I pulled my pickup around and ranged it at 1002 yards. I pulled out my app Ballistic:Field tactical something and doped the scope. First 3 shots were right on target measuring 4". Gun was a GAP Crusader with a Night Force NXS 5x22 with 175 smks hand loaded. Funny part is I shot off of my roof of my truck with my knees on my toolbox. I am sorry if this is boring but I'm pretty pumped up to finally get 1k and solid 1k shots my first time!!
