We need something new to talk about.. What is your longest or furthest shot"
Ok everyone what is the longest shot you have made at a target.. please tell us the load make up and gun being used.
Mine is 200 yards in a 20 mile per hour cross wind, using a t/c triumph 320g maxi-ball w/80g of pyro select and t7 primer
RE: We need something new to talk about.. What is your longest or furthest shot"
At a game animal with a muzzleloader I shot out to 85 yards with a .54 caliber Renegade and roundball. With a modern center fire, it was well over 500 yards.
At paper targets, I have shot paper plates out to 150 yards with a muzzleloader.

I've got a good friend named Tim Lambert fromMN that holds one of the top ten shots,2315 meters with a custom built 308. His scope mount has 300 min of adjustment built in it!! He said at that distance the bullet has 13 sec. of hang time on it!
