Went out to our hide that we maxed out at 1,300 yards previously. We have shot that for the last 5 years or so. I borrowed a friend Vectronix rangefinder to see if we can find a mile shot. Much to my surprise we went to our 1300 yard target and found a spot on another hill that was exactly 1760. Rangefinder was amazing.
We had loaded some 230 grain A-Tips with 73.7 grains of H1000 giving us 2836 FPS SD 6. We shot those to chrono and they shot 1/4 group.
Went to the mile and as luck would have it, there was a plateau with a clearing like God hisself carved it out. Rocks everywhere except on that platform.
I called a friend to run the numbers, and he came up with 17.4 mils. We had a strong tail wind so I shaved of .2 and went with 17.2. Nope it hit low. One more correction for wind and pop. My buddy laid down and hit the target first round based on my dope.
