Love mine too!

 

[Pillpeddler]

What were you shooting?

264 win mg, shooting 120 ttsx at 3250 FPS.

 

[madmyk]

I think it depends on the definition of "made"....
Bottom of a 5 gallon bucket - 1127 yds - 300 WBY (but back then I had access to the range regularly, I was starting to get pretty good groups. I haven't had access for long range in quite a few years.)
5 rounds touching on paper - 50 yds - a buddies custom build 10/22
Moving target - full size - 220 +/- a couple yds.
Moving target - small - just a 'hare' over 30 yds.

 

[Frank Thompson]

Shotgun? 77 yds ,12 ga, and harvested the heaviest 8 point WT, I’ve ever
shot.. 225#’s!

 

[jeffalgol]

Longest I've done is 100 yards with a 8mm Mauser due to being in the woods mostly.

 

[Backstraps]

At a critter, 398. It was an elk. I shot standing from a monopod.

At a target, 950. It was an old truck rim I shot with a .50 BMG.

 

[aftac19]

With what rifle? SR25 1171 meters, M4 800ish meters TA01NSN, M9 77 meters, Glock 19 moving target at 38-40 meters. All this in combat. SAW and M240 all over the place, M2 up a mountain side. Mortors, AT4, Carl Gustav.

I really dont care about humane kills. Dead is dead even if they bleed out.

I like animals, saw a Bear this past weekend and just let him pass because we were speaking each other's language.

300 yards here. We were jut dicking around blowing up 2 liter bottles with my LR-308.

I don’t have a good long-range place to shoot, but I put one .17HMR into the red dot of a target from about 400 yards using a Savage rifle with a Simmons scope (maybe 12x45mm). I won’t bore you with how many shots didn’t hit the red dot .

 

[bhock]

1350 yards with a savage 338 lapua and a 28 nosler i put together. This was back in washington state, shooting across a canyon up in the mountains.

 

[BigFish]

200 is longest shot around me. Would like to go to the cmp range one day

 

[rkflorey]

10 rds froma savage 300 win mag into 10 inches at 1000yds.
526 yards on a coues deer in southern Az.

 

[kenny1773]

1053 yards, hit a similar series of target with 3 guns, a bolt gun in 6.5cm, then an AR 10 in 308, and an AR 10 in 6.5cm

I plan to go further with the 6.5s sometime this year, but I think 1000ish is about the max I can hit with the 308

I have to update. I have now officially shot and hit a 1 mile (1760 yards) target with 6.5 creedmoor
no bullshit, I had to hit a 770 target, then a 1250 target, then the 1760 in that order, hit them all first shot, then nailed the 1760 target 5 times before the wind shifted (wind was fairly calm)

My scope was maxed out 16.5 MILS of travel it had, and I was using 8.5 MILS in the reticle as well (technically needed 24.9 MILS).

As it stands I believe I have roughly hit the limit of my rifle (could potentially use 1 more MIL of drop in the reticle, but that isn't going to take me too much further)

 

[Drcrimson]

~1500m with a 50 bmg (South African bolt action variant). Shot was up the side of small mountain at a facility north of Jahannesburg

 

[dc2010]

Shot made, 300 yrds. Longest animal shot, 263 yards with a CVA cascade 6.5 CM witha 3.5x10x50 Leupold vx3

If you're headed to Alberta Canada, check out Edson Fish & Game https://edsonfishandgame.ca/ 1600 meter range (0.966 miles)

Members only AKAIK & NO Day Passes but you can apply for an Associate Membership on line. Annual is less than 150.00 CDN@ so about 100-115.00 US, exchange dependent.

Great people, great facility, 2 hrs W of Edmonton, AB on Hwy 16 (The Yellowhead)

Years ago, me & my 300WM were consistent/good on steel to 1200m but after that I wandered a bit. Shot a friends 338L well out to 1400. So bigger is likely better and the weak link in accuracy is, as usual, the nut on the trigger.

My longest shot on game has never been more than about 275 yds; mostly because I'm a meat hunter and didn't want to chase or lose anything.

Yotes are another matter and I've nailed a few out to 750-800 w/ a couple of different .308 HBs. Used to love to play 'Bad Dog, go to sleep' with them.

Not much call for that anymore.

 

[maxwell2020]

100 yards. is there a longer range, range in north al?

 

[Old Dog]

Been awhile, but 700 yards on a AR I built 5.56 w/20" barrel and scope. 70 yards handgun was the longest on the old PPC course (qualifying) at MLEOTA.

 

[rybern]

I've shot 780yds a few times and 1000yds once with my Bergara 6.5CM. 780 and 1000yds both make 600 seem easy. All rounds were 140gr ELD under 41.5gr H4350. I have an interest in shooting one of the long range matches at Dead Zero sometime.
