Yup. Brings back good memories. I had to delete some of the photos as I reached the maximum file size for posting any new photos.
The Sierra 168 gr Tipped MarchKing loaded with 44.0 gr Varget was the definite winner in these long range tests. But don’t use this load if you’re seating to magazine length! I was only able to attain these velocities safely by seating bullets well past the 2.81 max cartridge OAL. |

Yup, no need to do any rapid fire from the magazine at 1000 yds, besides, it would probably result in missed shots! One of these days I’ll get back up to the Spencer, TN 1000 yd range. But, first have two houses to sell and move into the new home (not new, but the one we are under contract for) and clear out our family cottage so we can list it for sale. This is seriously hampering my shooting time! |
