After trying everything else you resort to using your topo map to estimate the range to the target. Ended up with the scope set on max elevation and holding the bottom mildot approx. 60 ft over the target. This was done with a M-40A1 with 173 gr.white box in 1985 on a arty range in Camp Pendleton. There are two posters on here that were there with me. 12 hits out of 20 shots on steel 55 gal drum. Can anyone guess how far that is.

What scope?
I'm guessing that's probably in the 3000m range from some back of the napkin estimating.
Nice shooting

A bullet impacts the ground next to you. On recovering it you discover it is one of your hand made bullets that you haven,t used for two years.

It was the Unertl 10x scope. What started it was the .50 cal. machine gunners were on the range with us and we noticed them shooting at the left lateral limit barrel with the old MA Duece.
They were not coming anywhere near it, just shooting up the hill side. My Spotter told me to give it a try. Thats when we had to resort to the topo map.
According to the Topo map the barrel was on the military crest of the hill at approx. 2940 meters. It took 6 shots to walk the rounds up the mountain. Once we got the range we hit it 12 times out of the next 14 shots.
After the 2nd or 3rd hit the Machine gunners and all of my STA plt watched the fun. The Machine gunners LT. said he was turning the feat into Headquarters as the longest shot ever with a rifle.
We never heard another word about it. There are probably several Marines on here that know the range I am refering to on Camp Pendleton. It was between 33 area and the KD range we qualified on for SS school.
My Spotter is a member here and you can ask him about it as he was the one spotting that day, his screen name is POA POI.
