Yesterday was a funny day, after a very steep climb for 2300 meters we have reached our FFP, on the top of a mountain, a little check of the environment and I've decided the elevation and windage to dial on my Premiere 5-25, I've used a 14x magnification to aim to a steel target of 88 cm x 100 cm..

Field firing solution was rock solid.. till 1750 meters, after the cold bore shot with a hit at 5 o' clock .1 MIL from center mass, I shot the second bullet and the impact was very close to the cold bore.... I was satisfied, I've finished my day hitting a lot of stones till 1750 meters, bullet SMK 350 gr, H1000 133 gr, Bertram case, FGM215M with an average muzzle velocity of 956 m/s

I'm using a Manfrotto carbon tripod with a manfrotto head ball, more stable if you have to do video and pictures, the laser is attached to the spotter with the Ashbury mount and the Nomad with a RAM mount..
 
Beautiful country! I would love to visit Italy one day. Im green with envy. I can't wait to pick up a DTA HTI in .375 CheyTac. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until I get the cash to make that happen.
 
Great photo's thanks for sharing.
Your load is interesting, never considered using H1000 in my .375 Cheytac and 350gn SMK's, I have always used Retumbo (AR2225) or AR2218. What's the pressure like with your load?

this is the screen shot of QL, the muzzle velocity doesn't match, but this is a normal way with QL, what I can say is after a visual check of brass and primer everything look great..
