I think you may have meant 39gr Biltzkrieg’s at 4000-4050fps. Those are pumping! Nice shooting’.

 

[Chance Doane]

Nice Work with that 20 TAC!

Great shot? Congratulations on the long successful poke!

Wow, that's like 1/2 kilometer, quite the shot especially on such a small target, congrats

 

[Matt_3479]

Thanks. I spend a lot of time shooting my rifles to 450-700 yards with majority of my shooting at 450-600.

The night prior I got the little one it was running with at 440 yards with the 22bra but didn’t have my phone for a photo.

But here’s a photo of it’s set up

500 yards holy cow

I can't find a darn spot in the northeast to shoot past 120 yards lol.

I wanna do an ibex hunt one day that's my dream hunt but I gotta practice long distance somehow before flying across the world for a hunt

Nice yote!

Damn dude, 500+ yards with a 39 grain Sierra, that a outstanding shot . You know what the Energy and FPS vel. is on your load data with 39's past 500+ ?

thank you. Has roughly 1917fps and 318ft-lbs at 525yards.

Here is a few groups over the course of a few sessions. Normally when shots could be this far I take my 22bra running 85.5’s at 3130fps but I tend to try and get them inside 400

That's some serious shooting right there.

Thank you. I shoot a lot with many different rifles at 400-600 yards as I have access to it 2 mins from my house. I practice with all my rifles from my competition rifles, small game rifles, big game rifles and even my smokeless muzzleloader. I hate not being prepared when on a hunt and your target animal decides he doesn’t want to close the distance weather that’s 200, 300 or 500.
