3 mile impact with .338 caliber on 3rd shot!

[MACHTECH]

Congrats to Travis on his 3 shot impact at 5280 yards on a 1 moa target! No warm ups or practice shots either. Cold bore shot was .2 mil high and 1.0 mil right. Second round hit at the base of the target. Third was money! Caliber was 33xc, 32" benchmark barrel by Travis at TS Customs (different Travis) shooting a 300gr Berger at 3190. Congratulations again brother on some incredible shooting!

Verified on a pizza box with a Sharpie due to the inability to afford anything else after dumping the funds into the weapon system and the fabrication/ transportation of said target.

I LIKE IT!

Hey, we're in the middle of nowheresville Kansas. Resources are limited!

 

[JB.IC]

Curious what his load data was. I’m still experimenting with my 33XC.

I can respect that.
I once rode the Transamerica Trail on my Dirt bike and I was on the Border of OK and Kansas somewhere and I remember riding the entire day before I saw a tree.
I actually took a picture of it. Lol
Proper Country for XLR Shooting.
Jealous!!!!!

300gr Bergers in front of 123gr of H50BMG in Lapua brass. 3190fps. Thanks!

Bull shit post lapua does not make xc brass

You're absolutely right. Caught me driving home from Kansas. Don't text and drive! Lol. Brass is Peterson

 

[badassgunworks]

Ok where did the other 400+ moa come from needed to shoot that distance no charlie

Charlie and Delta unit was used. Taken off prior to pics due to dusty conditions at the target. No need to sandblast the optics, just for pictures.

Congrats Travis. Great work guys.

What was your total elevation for the shot?

 

[badassgunworks]

Aprox 520 plus moa

 

[tnester1]

109.6 mils x 3.43 = 375.98 MOA

Impressive shooting, good job! Did ballistic software bring you so close cold bore or did you have dope for that range? Interested in how well software can predict the trajectory so far out.

 

[acudaowner]

I'd be thrilled just to see what a range with 3 miles to shoot at looks like that's just way more than anything we got around here unless you find a way to shoot from one end of the state to the other width wise . lol congrats to the shooter I am envious .

Strelok called for 111 mils. With the wind at my back creating lift, I guessed it would be a little less. Dialed 109.5. 1st round went 1 mil right. Wind correction planted round 2 right in front of the plate. 0.1mil up and smacked the center.

I have had pretty good luck with my strelok numbers out that far. I know it's unproven dope that far out, but the strelok algorithm seems to do its part if the environmentals are accurate.

suppressor looks a little warped in the picture. lol but that's a awesome achievement.

Through a Hensholdt Spotter 60 at around 30 power last year....(note: barn is not in use)

 

[acudaowner]

cool wonder how it looks on the target at 50 power . thanks for the pic that's pretty cool .

 

[tnester1]

Completely washed out due to mirage. Lol

 

[jasent]

Congrats

What suppressor was used?

What suppressor was used?

TB 338 Ultra

 

[MACHTECH]

That shows how bad the mirage was out there

TB 338 Ultra

Damn, I really want to use my SiCo 338 harvester on my 34” bbl 338 cheytac.

I had an engineer run the muzzle pressure numbers and they come out lower than the 338 lapua 20” bbl load (what the can is rated for) but I am too chicken shit to try it

i’m gonna just pick up a elite iron and play it safe I suppose......

thanks Mach

Confused out here in Kansas! The picture says 5,280 yards(1 mile) in the original picture. The title says "3 mile impact". Did the OP actually mean to say/write "3 mils" instead of "3 miles"?

1 mile is 5,280yds?

1 yard = 3 feet. Less confused now?

 

[johnnyvw]

Nope....LOL

 

[ClangClang]

@tnester1 super impressive! Approx how much energy does that load have at the muzzle and then on target at 3 miles?

 

[IDbound]

Opps I guess I showed my KS intelligence!

 

[tnester1]

@tnester1 super impressive! Approx how much energy does that load have at the muzzle and then on target at 3 miles?

Approximately 6,484 ft lbs at the muzzle and 463 at the plate

 

[Earnhardt]

Barrel twist?
Bullet jump?
Standard 33XC reamer?
COAL?
Thanks

Lol. We used 3 separate GPS devices in order to provide error correction.

I'd hate to be a shooter in Kansas........way too much wind out there!

You just flunked ELR 069

ELR 101 might cause you to puke in your beer.

 

[Dakota03]

any way you figure it. it was a long damn shot!

 

[iceng]

Nice shot. Ignore the haters. If you made that hit, it's yours for life. Congrats and well done ! (PS: you beat my PB.. so up yours).

Sure looks like you've got a hell of a lot more than three miles there! Kansas? Can't tell if the wind's blowing incessantly. NICE scope photo!
