^^^ Lifting the front foot like a home run swing is the key to punching the squibbed round out.
The Course of Fire:
Edit: added an arrow by the round target in the upper right. Was that used?
One more target area to add when I get time.

Its exciting to realize all the new data and techniques learned at this shoot, will be making its way down to the Industry and average shooter here, and expanding our capabilities even more! I wonder what we will be doing in 10 years with the pace the ELR growth we are seeing now!!!
Theses are are Golden days!!!

I was eye-balling the elevation climb from the line to the upper target at about 500', but it could be significantly more than that. I assume they went with LOS but that's due to the FB post about the LRFs they used. If the elevation change was known, they for sure could have done the math to make it horizontal. Maybe Frank knows?
I did not run the angle but I am sure it had an impact on the elevation.
Listening, watching and seeing the results, the Elevation is a lot harder to nail down at this distance. That said, Robert and Manners really didn't depend on software, Robert had some numbers from Shooter, and I think Tom said he used Hornady 4DOF but I am not sure if it was that or Strelok as he really didn't are what he used, he just used a free program.

So when did they start using 2" steel conduit for barrel blanks?

I believe I saw on his Instagram that he used an app called "Shooter"? Was somewhat hard to tell so don't quote me on that.
Only 3 shooters hit at 2 miles, its an elimination competition if you dont qualify for the top 10 you dont shoot 2 miles,
All 3 hit with a 416 using Cutting Edge Bullets

What a difference a year makes. Only one shooter hit the ~2 mile plate last year. The conditions were pretty choice yesterday, but you still have to dope and make the shot. This newbie was impressed!
Robert is a super cool dude. I’ve shot with him many times and been squadded with him several times. I’m very happy he took the crown.
Probably why the weight limit is coming down for 2019 . Would be great to see a 338 class added , but
they are already well oversubscribed for entries .
I get the gist of most of what is going on with most of this, but what is this object?
Looks like this green box is in front of the scope, but entirely aside from not looking like anything I recognise, it seems too small to be seen through.
Charlie TARAC. Gets you a bunch of optical vertical for long shots.

This is incorrect, Duncan Davis from Team J.J. Rock Co. was the first to hit the 2 mile with a .375 CT using a 400gr. Cutting Edge Laser.
We won’t hold it against you though Frank, a lot going on with people yelling about where you were standing, lol.
These photos were taken right after impact rang out:
The joy of success!
Sorry to re-post, but this gives perspective.

Thanks for the pic’s guys and thanks Frank for the podcast interviews. Good entertainment while I’m reloading ?
. We ran cci out of both guns, I have always used rws in the past but was seeing a pressure spike with them this year.
we used a g7 of 491 out of the bartlien gain twist and a g7 of 481 out of the K&p straight 10 twist barrel.
Thank you
Tom those bcs sure worked out great for you and Robert.Awesome shooting!!!!! And Robert stopping to take a drink of water as he was cleaning the targets and then right back on the plate -------------PRICELESS
No, sorry, I meant 5. It was a joke, I couldn't help myself. Those giant bullets are just awesome.
Tom, did you run the Hornady app with the G1 drag? May I ask why the reason for two drag models? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Dang 1st place winner was using a Bushnell XRSII, I would have expected a higher end optic.
All I have to say is in the shooting world this is about the coolest thing going right now. Can't imagine the expense of building the rifle and keeping loads feed to them.
I got a fever.
And the only prescription is more cowbell.

Excellent video, Frank!
A very interesting thread.
But am I the only one that noticed the Young Lady with the nice set of Guns?

That would probably be Samantha from Cutting Edge Bullets. She's a IIFB Pro body builder and a very talented and smart lady!
