Took my mini out to 1000 yards today. Started at 300 and went to 4,6, and finally 1000. Couldn’t be more impressed with the Wilson 11.3” barrel, NX8 and the 77TMK.
Here’s the view at 300. Target was a 2/3 steel IPSC and hits were boringly easy once I figured out the wind hold. It was blowing pretty good so was holding a full 2 Mils already.
400 wasn’t too much different than 300, but it really started getting interesting at 600. Dialed 9 Mils of elevation and held 4.5 Mils for wind. Hits were still very obvious visually and audibly and it seemed the round still had some decent energy.
I wasn’t planning on taking the rifle out this far but was happy with the rifles performance so decided to give it a shot.
That’s a long way!
Dialed up 14 Mils of elevation and was chasing the wind hold between 8 and 10 Mils. The NX8’s reticle covered a large portion of the target at that distance but bullet impacts were fairly consistent. I made 4 hits out of 20 and the misses bracketed the target much closer than I would’ve anticipated. hits still wiggles the target but were no longer audible. The range card generated by KAC’s BulletFlight app was dead on.
BulletFlight also calculated the velocity and energy of the TMK on target. 1075 FPS and 200 ft pounds of energy. Too close to determine if the bullet was trans sonic but there weren’t any sideways hits on the target so they either stayed supersonic or handled the transition well.
I also took the Mark 23 out. It’s boringly accurate within 25 yards so I took it out to 100 to see if I could make the hits. 2/22 connected so I think I was a little beyond my limit
.
Overall a rad morning and I was very impressed with the mini recce as a whole!
