Thankful I wasn't shooting alone....
Cool morning so headed for the range. One other shooter who was shooting a .308 rifle.
I verified the turret at 200, then at 400. The CDS turret isn't marked for 500yds, so I used the Strelok program and tablet.
The target below was shot at 500yds. Thankful Bill was there to witness and sign the target.
NOTE: Holes covered are .308

All I can say is, that is amazing shooting. When I first got into muzzleloading with the old Renegades and Hawken rifles, my friends and I were so happy with a three inch group at 100 yards, we grinned all day. Never did we dream someone would shoot 500 yards with that kind of accuracy.
Now I have read about civil war snipers doing similar feats of marksmanship and it always astounded me that they could pull that off. But to see someone shoot that kind of distance and with that kind of group, well that is amazing. Congratulations on a great day at the range. And just for your information, even with no witness, I would have believed your word.

Naaa, your spotter wasn't doing his/her job! Wasn't calling out for adjustment! Still was good grouping. That barrel is a good performer. Just need to get you a good spotter cuzz your shooting is fine. At 500 it's a little difficult to call your own shots from a muzzy. Even a smokeless one.
