Not really stretching the legs of the 338 in my opinion

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

Lets see him make that shot at 2200 yards! I think the .338 LM goes sub-sonic at about 1800 or 1900 yards depending on the altitude.

I wouldn't call that "opinion." I'd call that a blatant certainty, especially with all that restate to work with.
Skinney is doing that at 1150 with his .260 on a 12" plate, and if you look at the video, that's as far as the range would go.

Why all the hate? It's a good video and a fine shot, probably farther than 95% of the members here have ever done.

Some of the clearest video of a 1200 yard shot I've seen, the entire frame didn't turn to fuzz on super zoom and you could hear the impact.

Good shooting.

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

great shooting man, nice rifle as well... there is a tough crowd on here, i just had a guy tell me to get my sh** together and post a real group with the .416, simply because my posted group was sub MOA @ 100yds... and all i was doin was zeroin the 99...

Thanks man. I just understand why people have to hate on shooting long distance. I'm trying to have fun with this sport and hopefully entertain some people.

If I came off as hating, it was not what I intended. I was stating that a .338 at that distance isn't nearly as rough as a .308 at that distance. You hit it, good shit, good shot.

 

[Dogtown]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

Hey, I've shot around that same area - it's very .338LM friendly. Good shooting - you'll enjoy taking it out to a mile

PS. hey Ninja, you might want to ditch those animated gifs or at least reduce them in size. It makes it hard for folks who work at places with NSFW blocks (like DoD) to read the Hide.

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

Some get confused about making shots in real life or making them with a keyboard. It all kinda runs together after a while for the keyboard weenies. They saw it enough times and typed about it enough times that their psyche gets conditioned into thinking they actually DID something in real life.

Nice shooting Joe, and keep them coming. I like your vids, regardless of the subject.

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

I can vouch for ninja...he knows his shit and can shoot better than 99% of everyone on this website. He didnt mean to be hatefull. He just calls things how he sees them is all. He will give credit when due. He is a good feller to know. Good video btw...I have a ton of footage I need to upload for yall to see too! Im going to take the 338 norma to 2000 this weekend and will video if mirage isnt too terrible. I need to get a rig to hook my camera to my swarovski spotting scope. Anyone know of any?

Chase

Its cool man. On that day I shot my savage 10ba in .308 and hit the 1200 yards target 3 out of 12 time.Hard to do with high wind. With the .338 was much more accurate in the wind. We could of gone out further like 1600 to 1800 but too hard to see anything splash due to desert vegetation. Hopefully next month we'll try again.

[PbShipper]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

Barstow is a pretty good place to stretch it out. However it is quite rocky and hard to spot misses. Try shooting into the sandy washes like dagget wash east of slash x cafe. Lots of elevated positions to shoot from gets you out of the brush. Try google earth alot of what appears as white dirt is great to shoot into, most likely need four wheel drive. Half hour north of Barstow is a town called Newberry Springs pretty sandy easy to spot even beyond 1500. there is alot of private land be careful get a BLM map. Just south of Baker there are dunes you can shoot into (super easy to spot and recover fired rounds)and ranges that are fit for artillery. Keep up with the good work and making vids. I shoot in those area about twice a month with my .308 and .338lm no problems.

I'm glad to see people on here actually shooting instead of talking about shooting.

 

[Indypendent]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

It's sorta hard to knock the video being here since the title of this section is "Beyond a 1000 Yards". However, 1200 yds with that round makes for a boring video, a good quality one in this case.

 

[Lodi]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

What video camera do you guys recommend for filming a shot at 1,760 yds and farther?

 

[ney1]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

Lodi,
One with a tripod set 20 yards to the front and side of the target.

 

[Dogtown]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

That's essentially what my buddy and I did a while back. We placed a camcorder on a tripod close to the target, let it roll onto an SD drive, then hightailed it to the firing point. Getting it synched without timecode is tough though, but you can eyeball it by generally lining up your initial shot with the initial hit.

[rpk762]

Re: Desert Tactical Arms 338 Lapua 1200 yard shot.

That is some nice shooting. That is an easy shot with the 338LM. It is such an impressive round it makes shooting at 1,000 and less almost give me shots. I was shooting my 338LM and my 300WM at past 1,000 then tried my 308 at exactly 1,000 and wow I was all over the place. Fracking wind was kicking my butt. Now I shoot my 308 more just to keep sharp on the wind.

For every piece of trash you carry out I will leave three.

You take what you can. Unfortunately every time I've been out at that particular spot there's been more crap added. Normally my buddies and I just bring out steel and setup several ridge lines over for ELR shooting.
