4.05 seconds, according "Shooter" my ballistics app, for the 208gr A-max to travel the <span style="font-weight: bold">2163 YARDS</span> to hit my steel plate.
This is the furthest I have ever accurately shot....I use accurately as a loose term. I only landed 50% of my shots once I "found" the target. It took 3 shots to get a dust signature on the hill and another 2 to get my hold over close. I had my Leupold 8.5-25x50 maxed out for elevation, although I dont have a bottomed out zero I still have 89 MOA of up adjustment....I really need to get a different set of rings to make up the other 6 MOA I am lacking.
This was roughly the hold over I was using at this range.
Although I cant claim 1 MOA groups, I will say 2-3 MOA happened. Once I was on target I fired 12 shots and scored 6 hits. The 6 misses were either side of the plate and likely caused by the shooter as there was next to nothing for wind on the range today.
4 in the Center, 1 at the top, and 1 at 7 oclock. The hit on the red plate was from last time I shot this target I just forgot to paint it.
And the winning combo fired from my 300wsm.
67.5gr of H4831sc, in Winchester cases, Remington 9.5 Magnum large rifle primers, and the Hornady 208gr A-max. Velocity is only 2865fps and groups at 100 yards only measure .75" for 3 shots the bullet seems to settle down further out and groups about 1.75" at 500 yards.
