First time at 2000 yards

here is another one for the ELR Mtn Dreamers (like me)

West Pine Creek, off the Yellowstone in Paradise Valley MT. Elk season 2 years ago.
Wind had plastered snow on the down slope face of all the trees.
Mtn in background is 2000 to 4000 yds. However, good luck hitting anything with a bullet in all that wind....

On the computer all day today so if any of you out west want to gloat with more gorgeous mountain shooting locations feel free to harass! Darn I miss me some mountains
 
Wow beauty. This is funny I have always wondered this.....fog vs clouds. Is fog just ground clouds? Can't recall ever asking, but certainly never read it. Today is the day!
 
Few from my roll

i never made it past Mississippi river... Afraid if i come out there i'll want to stay... groups wanting to go to Kansas in the spring to get 2 miles.. not sure if im going to make it are not ??? .. if you make it out some time give me a shout we'll let you shoot a day or 2..
 
I'd post pics of unlimited range spots we have here in Kansas but Tempest455 already did it with those rebelridge pics.
Yup, whole state, just like that.
Easy to find a place to shoot 3000+ yards......hard to find a place with a backstop/hill/small mound of dirt....you get the idea.

That would be a blast. What do you guys shoot out there caliber wise?

For 2 miles if Kansas isn't your flavor take a peek at Tradecraft down here in FL. Buddy got a 2nd round hit at their 2 mile a couple of months ago with his 338. Would post the vid if I could, but I'm a tech dummy. Keeps you in the same time zone at least.....
 
Went back out this morning for 2000 yards same rock. 32 temp but feel like was 22. The wind was 22 plus mph coming from west.
My holds were 19.8 mils up
6.5 mils to left. I dialed 5 mils on turret and held 1.5 in scope.

First set 4-13 3rd round impact. New brass

Second set 0-13 1xfired brass had issues with my velocities. The wind started doing crazy things held 18.8

Third set 6-16 back to new brass holds were back to normal

Fourth set 0-10 new brass but wind was very harsh swirling and ended up dialing down 19.2

That's fun 6.5mils wind hold! What caliber? 2000 with under 20 mils just wondering. Was going back and forth at 1 mile spotting with buddy yesterday my 6.5 and his 300NM he was 21.5.

I'm shooting a 7mm-300 win mag 197 smk. I use. 405 g7 2877 avg. I did have it up at 2943 and it was only 18 mils. 28 inch barrel. I do live at 5400 feet so that helps
 
Foothills of NC… private place .. blindfold you in & out … we do take a few guest on occasion

Exactly what brought about my avatar pic a friend made for me

1000 yards is for rookies
Unless you are shooting as many X's as possible out of 20 shots for score. :)
The Palma guys do it with iron sights and a sling as well.
