Just joined the 1 mile club!

[Grizzdude]

Today I went out with my Savage 110ba 338 lapua and took it out to 1 mile for the first time. Took a few sighters but got my first hit on my 4th or 5th shot, I wasn't sure because I didn't hear the ding, but I didn't see any missed bullet splash. so I continued on and got a almost dead center hit on my 9th round. I could clearly hear the ding even with my ear pro on. I'm pretty stoked, most people take about 10 to 15 rounds to hit the 1 mile mark for their first time (based on threads I've read), so I'm quite happy with my results. I didn't even realize I hit the target twice until I brought the target back home and took a closer look. Sorry no video, but I'll be sure to make a 1 mile video as soon as I can.

Dude, not really sure if this is the place to be talking about your "exploits" while engaged in airline travel. Oh, wait did I mis-read the thread title...?

Someone once referred to my 338LM as the HOG. I asked him what that meant, he said, "Hand of God".

Nice shooting Griz !

Congrats on your feat Grizz, a mile is a poke by anyones standards.
Not taking anything away, but hitting 1k after getting into LR shooting was a more momentous occasion for me. After shooting awile, it was just a matter of gearing up for a mile.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Nice shooting Griz !

I like that one, I name all my LR guns also.
"Blue Boy"
"The Green Monster"
"The Beast"
And Last of all, "Zappa" a 7 saum C Dixon built with one those ridiculous digital camo paint jobs, I still scratch my head when I think about how much I paid for it!
I did have a .338 snipetac named "Dark Thunder", as in Kurt Russel, Call down the thunder, from the movie.

Nice work! Furthest I've streched it out to was 1075yrds. I'd love to have the property to try a 1mile shot on.

 

[BigJim375]

Anyone know of a mile range in Florida?

 

[1 mile]

I'll be moving to Wapiti in May...we got to meet-up. I have a 375 BAS...same as a Chey-Tec. I'll shot for you if you will help me.

Great job! I like the HOG comment. I want to accomplish it too someday.
