They fired $600 worth of ammo for that hit. LMAO

Yeah, what is the MOA slope of that?

I've got a 30 on my .338 LM. That thing is LMAO.

It has a couple of adjustable optics added to the end of the scope, too. I've seen them, but forgotten what they're called.

Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36 scope.

The target would still be a blip in that sight picture. Aim for the tiny blurry white thing and let her rip.

Yeah what the hell is that at the end of the scope? Is it some kind of magnifier?

It's for more elevation adjustment. The scope doesn't have near enough.

So it was still even faster than a Patrick Mahomes II pass. Impressive.

I took a precision marksmanship course about 10 years ago. We worked in teams. It was pretty interesting to shoot out to 1000 yards and you would shoot, your spotter a split second later would say hit and then you would here the ring of Steel.

Another interesting thing is they set up a target about 650 yards out behind a berm. If you stood up tall you could see the target. You had to try and judge where to aim against the berm lay prone and shoot to your spot. The spotter would walk you into the target behind the berm. That was a lot of fun!

That bullet descended to the target at a 48* angle earth's rotation had to be figured in as when the trigger is pulled 24 seconds later the target isn't in the same location.

Miles out plus 2500 feet up on a parabola. Plus windage & coriolis.

I ran across this video a couple months ago. To say it had a profound effect on me would be an understatement. Anyways, I thought it was pretty interesting listening to him explain his record setting kill.

I've shot my brother's BMG 50, can't imagine the power behind this beast.

Hammock Parties 10-06-2022 08:43 PM

give mahomes a week of practice and he'll own the record

You’ve hit plenty of 1000+ shots??? I bet most of those were cold bore shots too, weren’t they….
