I have a bunch of 300wm loaded up and ready to fly..
So far ive been able to figure the drop out to 1000yds, hitting a 16" stump at 908yds while propped up on a 4wheeler

This weekend we are goin to start at 1000yds and go back till we run out of room, or ammo.

I have a 1760yds marked off on my map, and to my buddys driveway its exactly 2000yds. Furthest we can go is roughly 1900yds and more and we will have to setup in the road haha

Guess we will see what happens and ill report back monday :lol4:

A woodchuck in New York at 575 long steps. A Model 70 Winchester and a Weaver K10 telescope with 130 gr Sierra bullet and 54 gr 4831. Did this sitting with sling.

Once I shot a 2.5" 10 shot group at 500 yards with a Winchester Model 70 Factory Target Rifle in .308 Winchester. It was fired from the prone with a sling, with no rest. The sights were aperture front and rear sights (no scope). The load was a LC64 Match case with 42 gr IMR 4895, a Federal Match primer and a Sierra 168 gr International Match bullet.

Awesome!!!!
What caliber? i was gonna guess .270 but that's not much powder for a 130gr bullet. [/quote]

I think that is a full case load for a .270WCF. Used to get Hogdon's surplus 4831 for $14.00 per hundred weight.

Long range deer shot

Same .270 that I killed the woodchuck with. 150 gr Sierra BTSP and 54 gr Hogdon 4831. Shot from the prone position over a log. The deer was on the other side of a valley. It paced 725 steps but it was downhill and uphill. It was more like 600 yards. The deer dropped like a rock. The bullet severed the spinal cord at the top of the shoulder. I had overestimated the range and the bullet struck a bit high.
