Jug at 322 yard
 



























The bullet took so long to reach the jug that i had looked away from the scope saw the jug, figured i missed, saw the jug jump, and heard the bullet hit. Calculation say it was about 2/3 second time of flight. The cds dial was turned all the way around, which one can see in the photo. The bullet was in a short Harvester sabot, pushed by 120g BH209, and ignited by W209 primer. One can see the damage to the jug was quite minimal compared to what happens at 45 feet or even 200 yard.

That's impressive did you happen to find the bullet great shooting

Nice work sir.
I've got to start practicing out to 300. I don't think I have anywhere around here that I could hunt that far, but it just sounds like fun. I think I would have to re-arrange things out back to make 300 work. Maybe that will be a good summer project.

The bullet i did not find; i looked for it. Seemed it didn't go very far. Am wondering if i could find it with metal detector.

Forget to mention that the rifle was the Knight 50 caliber Extreme purchased from Chet the tag earner/deer killer. It is shooting OK now after glasbed. The shot i couldn't have made without help.

What sort of fpe do you have at that range?

How many shots did it take to hit that jug? I wonder what the ballistics of that bullet are at that distance.

Nice Shot Ron! I Practice at 200 a-lot so the 150yd+ shots are easy, but have never tried anything further yet........How consistantly can you hit the Jug at 300?

Yesterday the jug fell to the first shot. That is why i knew i had help. The furthest i ever shot jugs before yesterday was 287 yard. I guess i am remiss in not keeping track of hits and misses. My guess is, i hit more than miss. It is kinda hard for me to shoot further than 200 yard, because of the terrain. I never had shot further than 200 yard, except at a deer once, until i purchased the cds dials.
