300 BLK subsonic at 1 mile

No telling how many shots actually. The video is cut a couple times
No better than all these other videos of guys hitting 6ft targets at 5,000 yards with a whole team of spotters helping them walk bullets onto the target and hitting it once out of 40+ shots.
I thought I was doing something hitting steel at 400yds with one.
Sometimes its best to hold prayer meeting with your target.
That's a really cool accomplishment. It's smiliar to shooting a pistol like a 10mm or a powerful magnum handgun to a mile. It's only 1050fps folks and it's on video and it looks real, the excitement looks real also. I remember the first PRS match I ever went to we were supposed to shoot out handguns over this canyon at a target that was 150 yards away lol! I just remember thinking to myself, "I thought this was a rifle match?" as I was trying to pick up my little 9mm bullet coming out of my little handgun going like 900fps. I remember aiming what I thought was about 30 feet over the target (it was just a guess) and I didn't see shit. I thought to myself "how far do I need to aim this fucker over the target to hit it at 150 yards." I had 10 chances; I didnt see anything worth a shit. Props to the dude hitting a target at 1 mile wit a bullet flying 1050fps. Pretty bad ass IMO.
Sometimes it's fun to be a kid and try something ridiculous. A couple years back we were shooting out to 1k and someone brought up Jerry Miculek's 1k 9mm shot. So we all tried until we ran out of 9mm. 8 or 12 rounds a piece cause none of us planned on shooting pistols and all we had was our carry loads. Good times. I would absolutely try my 300BO pistol at our rifle range!
You should think that over a bit.
The bullet goes subsonic 1000 yards with 2000 yards to go.
That's awesome stuff, even if it did take him 5 shots to get there. That bullet still had quite a bit of force hitting that target. I just looked at my calculator, that bullet dropped almost 1000 feet before it hit that target. That's crazy awesome!
I feel ya. I live on the west side of the cascades and I gotta drive 4-5 hours for a place. After retirement though I'm moving to the Phoenix area and there is plenty out there.
Iowa too. We have a 1000 near by, and 850 available on family land but thanks to family politics we don't go there any more. I need to move.
I was stationed in Washington state at one point. That’s what got me into the long range game. Had ample opportunities to take 1 mile+ shots.
It helps to have the bullet fairy bless the projectile before shooting anything past 1000 yards.
Noe that is just damn cool.It helps to have the bullet fairy bless the projectile before shooting anything past 1000 yards.
In the same spectrum but this is much more fun to watch....you'll see why
I've watched that video over and over again to see if I could copy her technique.
I didn’t think using bags was allowed in offhand.
Also Shadd's Farm used to go to 1 mile but they reportedly just got shut down by authorities for some reason.
Not any more since JTAC opened- 2000 yards, in Polk County. Membership ain't cheap- but it's an amazing place to shoot ELR.
No RSO's up your ass- shooters self-police.
Manatee Gun Club went to shit years ago.
There's also a place in the Leesburg area if you're up further north, name escapes me...
EDIT didn't see #33 above...
