So a while back I built this 6mm Super LR, because I wanted a true "cheater gun." I've been fireforming the brass at a local monthly mid-range varmint match that I run, but have not really wrung it out in terms of load tuning or anything.
In fact, I didn't have any idea how it would do past the 500m line.
Chuck (264shooter) and I happened to both take a day off over the last holiday weekend, and we said what the heck, let's go shooting and bring the cameras....
So, we went to our range that we've got set up in the middle of nowhere and put my 6mm against his 6.5mm. I chose to shoot the "go-to" load in the 6mm, which is a 115gr DTAC with H4831SC in the crap Winchester cases. Velocity is about 3025 fps.
I used Shooter for Android for the DOPE, and even with me second-guessing it half the time things went well. In fact, Shooter is scary accurate when using the G7 models and absolute air pressure (I wear a barometer watch).
We agreed to only bring 3 rds to the line at each 100-yard interval, no additional shots. We stuck to that and didn't fool around.
Anyhow, I'm still editing the video, but I have the first part done, the 500-1000 yard segment.

I'll be working on the 1000-1700 segment and getting that out as soon as everything allows.
EDIT: here it is: http://youtu.be/A8-I19XD9y4
The final summary video will include the drop values used to connect at each range. This was all done within about a 2-hour time window, and the rifles were shot side by side, so the exercise is pretty reasonable.
