Shooting 2060 Yards! 1.17 Miles 338 Lapua

[Grizzdude]

Hey Guys! A couple days ago I went out and did some of my best shooting ever, at 2060 yards! I was shooting my savage 110 BA chambered in 338 Lapua with 300gr Berger OTM's at a steel torso target. Out of a total of 18 rounds fired I landed 4 solid hits. I probably would have done better but I had no idea I was hitting the target so a few times I dialed off after hitting. Time to get a better spotting scope now! Made a short video of the shoot, hope you enjoy!

Nice... I bet your a happy camper to be able to get that kind of distance!!!

 

[catswithguns]

Pretty cool video. I really like the sonic crack of the bullet in the misses. Pretty amazing.

 

[D_Lamz]

Damn at that distance the bullet still has a lot of power!

 

[garandman]

Great shooting.

Very nicely done video, too.

 

[DJ 480]

Only thing that would make that vid better would be to hit the camera lol...nice vid

 

[phillipjr]

Awesome man!! Good shooting!

 

[Gentleman4561]

I love that the plate moves more than it would if I shot it with my .308 at 100 yds.

 

[Grizzdude]

Appreciate you posting this! Great shooting and amazing scenery. What glass do you have on the Savage?

 

[dave300]

Nice! Just as interested in knowing your load work up? Congrats

 

[mikeltee]

Sweet shooting! I bet it sucked packing that thing in there.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm using 90gr H-1000 with 215 primers in Lapua brass. I seat the bullets .025" off the lands. I haven't played with seating depth yet.

Appreciate you posting this! Great shooting and amazing scenery. What glass do you have on the Savage?

Thanks! The scope is a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 MIL/MIL with the MLR reticle

Tell me about it! it's hard to see in the video but there is a huge creek in front of the target about 15ft deep that I had to crawl down and hall back up the 80 lbs target through.lol Thanks for the comment!

Nicely done! Great shooting.

That's dedication there brother. I figured you say that you have a quad trail through that terrain. That's God's country for sure!

 

[Sniper Uncle]

Very NICE! I can't wait to get mine out to 1000yds, especially after watching this... I also really like the video production work you have done, with the music and the double view---rifle/target.

 

[gixxerk8]

Very nice shooting. Hard to see hits at that far. I use video when shooting solo at 1650 to come home and watch and take notes. Wife walked in to me standing at the big screen, got the smart assed "ooh that looks fun".

 

[leadbullet]

well done grizz, great shooting and video again, you are getting us spoiled here and now 100yds will never do it for you ever again, that is the addiction of long range hitting.

 

[bhart89]

Kudos all around. Shooting, load work up, hauling that steel, and video editing. You set the bar high.

 

[Bigalfromfl]

Very nice! That is some distance!

 

[Jason5R]

Sweet video, awesome shooting man!

 

[darth_ritis]

Nice! Boy, that silhouette looks pretty small at that distance, even with that nice of a scope. Now I'm motivated to shoot farther.

 

[Victor Co Heather]

That is video is kick ass. Thanks for posting it!!!

What kind of area you shoot in?

Private property, public, etc?

Wish we had some mountains/hills like that here

It's partly private property that goes into bordering BLM, hardly any one comes out this way so I can pretty much shoot this range when ever I want. I got lucky with this playground.

what was your video setup? interested to record my own shots like this

I just used two video cameras that are pretty cheap only 720p, then I just calculated the time of flight and during editing adjust everything accordingly. My editing program lets me time everything correctly down to .03 of a second so it's a pretty accurate representation of the shot.

Job well done!
